The army and our return in investment

[minestrone]

Serious question.

With all the money we spend on them why cannot they finish the job? years they have been in Afghanistan and they are still getting the run around.

We all kick off when we see government contracts in IT coming in late, but why are the army getting off lightly? They said they could do the job but obviously are not capable of bettering a bunch of farmers they said were won over with their heart and minds drivel 5 years ago.

Why can't they just finish the job?

Why won't you join them and help them finish the job there? Seriously!

That kind of says "be part of the problem to forget the question".

If the goverment said that the ID card system was complete 5 years ago and then failed to roll it out we would going postal, why do the army get away with this?

Like most projects - bad senior management.

Because the human rights mob stop them doing the job properly in the first place dumb arse.

It does not help when grunts on the ground are shooting up innocent people, or pilots dropping bombs on the odd wedding party. They are often a national embarrassment these bold troops of ours.

I thought they were there to give human rights, or at least that was the message they gave.

"Women do not have to wear the burka now we are here" yadda, yadda.

Do you think it was human rights mob who prevented USSR from winning war in Afganistan? I don't think so.
