s a disturbing new documentary about the ineptitude, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and corruption of the Afghan security forces as well as the reduced role of US Marines due to the troop withdrawal. In part one, we see just how chaotic and hopeless the situation is in Sangin, one of the most violent towns in Afghanistan.

I have to be honest (that is the one rule I will never break, even if others will and have taken advantage of it), this made me think Glass Parking lot. It really did.

I know I am wrong but damn I cannot see how I would teach or if it’s even possible to teach some people who are so far goon a new way to live.

Thanks for the recommendation, it was interesting to watch.

I feel like we're trying to force Western ideals and law on a society to which those ideals and laws are absolutely alien. A great example in this film is the first scene, where a man had kidnapped four brothers of a man who had kidnapped HIS brother. He did this as retribution. The voice of "western reason" tried to explain how this was against (our) laws and (our) morals, but to the Afghani it made perfect sense because it was totally within his laws and morals to do so.

We in the U.S. have lived in our culture for two hundred years, and can't imagine living any other way. Imagine how someone who has lived their life in a culture thousands of years old must feel. We thought they'd just smack their heads and say "Oh right! We've been doing it wrong! We just didn't see it. Thanks for the help." They're no more likely to change their minds than we would be if someone rolled into our home town and told us the Afghani way of life was the right one for us.

Someone talking sense...how refreshing.
You nailed it.

My reality and yours are quite different.

It's called the 'Graveyard of Empires' for a reason. For years we've been trying to install a republic in the ME somewhere, hoping it would somehow catch fire and enlighten the area. One can see the policy is sketchy at best.

Agreed, this is another great documentary by Vice.

I feel bad for that Sgt. Bill Steuber -- he's an honest guy trying to do the right thing and no one is listening to him other than those making the documentaries. The worst part was when the ambassador flew in for a few photo ops to make it look like a success...and refused to talk to the Sgt. What a farce.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

The worst thing I heard was the guy who said

If they don't fuck the !@# of these boys what are they supposed to do fuck their grandmothers pussy?

Like that's the only two options?
That to me is just insane, it has nothing to do with Islam it has nothing to do with anything other than culture and I guess desperation.

That was so fucked that I felt horrible for thinking it but I thought the only solution for someone who lives in that reality is death. I don't know it just sucked.
