I'm confident this video doesn't paint the whole picture, good or bad, but these are the kinds of discussions we need to have. It's what we all agree on, more or less, when we stop thinking about our "team." 

Here's Who REALLY Won the War in Afghanistan - YouTube

I don't disagree with anything in that video except for the way he presents it as if it is some kind of expose'.  Wars cost money, and the big advantage the United States has over most other countries is their huge defense budget and the ability to throw money at things.  

No doubt that members of Congress should not be allowed to own individual stocks.  

But really, there's nothing in that video that is not public knowledge already.  Wars cost money, we live in a capitalistic society and people are incentivized by profit.  It's why we have the best weapons in the world.
