Major concern of NATO is what the veterans are feeling; Trauma and PTSD.

What good your war in Afghanistan brought to anyone involved?
@@mountainstream8351 It was obvious even back then that nothing was going to change. So we were there for no reason at all, other than making money for the Government contractors.

What about Afghan mothers who lost their sons, those women who lost their husbands. The U.S. & NATO politicians sent young men to Afghanistan to die for nothing. Absolutely nothing, that's why these soldiers are suffering PTSD for not able to understand that why they were there inthe first place.
I am Indian and we are much closer geographically, historically and culturally to Afghanistan. Our Indian govt didn't think ever to mess into Afghan problem militarily and all govts in Afghanistan(Northern Alliance, Taliban and 20 years Democracy) have largely respected the non interference in their internal political/ethnic/religious questions. Instead India helps in helping Afghans through soft power. India trains their students, soldiers and players and also gives refuge, builds parliament, dams and institutions. We are not keen in changing the nature forcefully coz that doesn't work in South Asian subcontinent. Western Powers didn't realise that. Also they were lazy in changing the mentality and providing access to Afghans and thus were untrustworthy even after 20 years of presence. I empathise with these veterans who thought that they were fighting on right side (which I too believe in) and can feel the sense of defeat and crushing feeling of unable to help their friends. BUT I CAN SAY ONLY ONE THING TO THEM. THEY SHOULD FEEL HAPPY AND BLESSES TO GET OUT OF THAT HELLHOLE. THEY ARE LIVING IN A MUCH SECURED AND PEACEFUL COUNTRY OF THEIR OWN. THEY SHOULD THANK THE LORD DAILY!!

I'd recommend soldiers get into political activism the right way. Focus using your aggression to make positive changes in your community and the local and national government, so things like this never happen again. Choose not to follow the mainstream crowd and make an informed decision to vote for leaders who have empathy, strength, conviction, leadership and the smarts to see beyond politics to solve problems, and not creating new ones. Look at their past track history and do not ignore their mistakes they made. Otherwise if you elect a leader who has repeatedly failed? What makes you think they will suddenly make all the right decisions when they have more power to do so?
Everything has a consequences remember These warcriminal have killed 50000 civilians in Afghanistan Blame you leaders for sending to war that had nothing to do with you and you could never win!
crimea wasn't a war and syria's civil war was caused by the CIA's operation timber sycamore, and if it wasn't for russia's involvement, the taliban-like rebels would be ruling syria with spacious tolerance for isis
Military job itself is a thankless work. Why did the Europeans go to Afghanistan on orders of their corrupt politicians? Afghans posed no threat to Europe, USA or UK.
One of the reasons why the US withdrew from Afghanistan militarily and signed a peace agreement with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar, in February 2020. Turkmenistan's natural gas reserves (the fourth largest in the world) may allow Afghanistan to become part of a regional energy trading network through the planned Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline. The TAPI project has had regular support from Washington since the early 1990s, when the private oil company Unocal and the United States government began mapping the lines of a new gas pipeline on the map of Afghanistan. The TAPI would deliver natural gas from Turkmenistan to energy-hungry markets in Pakistan and India and Afghanistan would earn transit revenue. In 1997, a consortium consisting of six companies and the Turkmen government was formed with the goal of building a 1,271-kilometer gas pipeline to Pakistan. India was not yet part of the plan. The majority of that consortium, 54 percent, was owned by the California-based Unocal Corporation. In 1997, the American company even organized a trip to Texas for a high-ranking delegation of the Taliban for the negotiations, but the support of the Taliban for Osama bin Laden after the terrorist attacks against the United States put an end to that negotiation process. In the first session of a new trilateral format between Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and the United States in October 2020, all parties committed, among other things, to work together on the implementation of the TAPI gas pipeline and the Turkmenistan high voltage transmission power line. -Afghanistan-Pakistan (TAP). On January 3, 2021, the US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, embarked on a tour that took place in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar and Turkmenistan. According to a State Department statement, Khalilzad's goals included urging countries to pursue "plans to expand regional connectivity, trade and development, which will be assisted by an Afghan peace agreement and will help keep the peace". Russia and China are maneuvering to participate in the eventual Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline given the high political profile of the project, and thus increase their influence over the TAPI member countries. On February 6, 2021, with the support of the United States, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan, a meeting was held between the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan and the delegation of the Political Office of the Taliban Movement, led by the head of this office, Molla Abdul Ghani Baradar. Both parties agreed to carry out the following projects: the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan high-voltage electricity transmission lines (TAP) and fiber optic communications along the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan route. -Pakistan, as well as the railways that will connect Turkmenistan with Afghanistan. Afghanistan is expected to buy 16% of the gas, which is close to 5.11 bcm. The Taliban government will receive USD $ 400 million a year as a gas pipeline transit fee.

Veterans are a closed society and peer to peer counseling is a good approach 👍. NATO responded after the 9 11 attacks to remove the Taliban regime who hosted the Al Qaeda jihadis in training camps. The Bundeswehr performed bravely and proved their competence in combat. The active deployments were ended in 2014. The IS movement focused in Iraq took the attention. The US stopped taking casualties after the February 2020 peace treaty. The Afghan National Security force of 330,000 have been fully supported by the US taxpayer. In a trust through 2024. We can not pay the taliban legally.This includes courts and public institutions funding. What happens now? A famine looms in Afghanistan. Maybe the will to give them air support will emerge from NATO. Lead the way guys. Like Libya. Get some.

The Bundeswehr performed bravely and proved their competence in combat. The active deployments were ended in 2014. The IS movement focused in Iraq took the attention. The US stopped taking casualties after the February 2020 peace treaty. The Afghan National Security force of 330,000 have been fully supported by the US taxpayer. In a trust through 2024. We can not pay the taliban legally.This includes courts and public institutions funding. What happens now? A famine looms in Afghanistan. Maybe the will to give them air support will emerge from NATO. Lead the way guys. Like Libya. Get some.
ha ha WTC sami USA zrobili by wejść do Afganistanu i Iraku . Dostać zgodę narodu swojego na wojnę i jego inwigilację. ISIS był sponsorowany przez USA

Tragic for the Afghan people who will have to live under siege in their own land as well as all veterans who are affected emotionally and physically.
How do they feel? We here to talk about feelings now.
The stiff jaguar mostly tremble because slice uniformly stretch unlike a rude freighter. curious, fancy ground
Do not have to have been deployed in Afghanistan to ask "Did this make any sense?"
No it did not!!
Soldiers serve in command. No personal opinion. War is the state's duty.
No, military needs a will to fight. They need a reason to protect the state else they become cowards like afghan soldiers.
Very sad. Wars demand major sacrifices from the soldiers, and then unexpected results make it worst.
Very sad.
debile idą na wojnę w interesie bogatych.
