What have we (Special Forces soldiers) said since the US invasion of Afghanistan?
We have said since the US invasion that once we leave Afghanistan will return to being the shithole it has been for 2000 years.
We said as soon as we leave the bad-guys will fight 10x harder and they will win and once they do they will execute everyone that even thought about working with the American soldiers.
And why did thousands of Americans die for? I don't know. I do know we should have punished them and left.

Rising casualties among US-backed Afghan troops concern officials

Rising casualties among local Afghan forces who are trained and supported by American troops and the growing presence of an ISIS-affiliated group are becoming growing concerns for commanders, the top U.S. general in the region told Fox News.
Gen. John Nicholson said the Taliban killed more than 5,000 Afghans last year and wounded another 14,000 -- and the casualty rate is climbing this year.
Nicholson, who in March took command of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, spoke for the first time this weekend to a small group of reporters in Kabul.
"In one year, [U.S.-backed forces] suffered roughly double the number of casualties that we suffered in 15 years," Nicholson said.
