In the aftermath of the US exit
from Afghanistan, what we are
starting to see, and will see a whole
lot more of, is the astounding
corruption of US contractors.

They were there to train, equip and
motivate the Afghan army. Instead
all they did was steal money that

was earmarked for those purposes.

And if you think, wow, they should
be punished for that, well, we can
always dream, can’t we?
