 It was basically showing the Muslim groups over there who are over there and are supposedly allies to America basically just seemed to be making fun of the Americans, taking their money, using their ammunition and running away with it.  Some of them were sex offenders, heroin addicts and obviously didn't care about any military missions.

I don't understand why America is pouring money and resources into a country that is halfway around the world from them.

There are better ways of getting Pyrrhic  victories for our abundant enemies than what the US normally works at, that's for sure.

Easy, the US Military-Industrial Complex has to be sustained somehow, and without a scary enemy to convince us all to keep handing over our tax dollars and borrowing money from other nations, we'll never keep our forces high enough to maintain our economic hegemony and domination of the poor nations who are the sources of the resources (human and material) that we exploit.

Wag the dog. Wag the dog. Wag the dog.

Thought I'd add this, (former head of our armed forces in the biggest war in our history, mind you) President Eisenhower's farewell address, in 1961, in which he warns about the dangers of the Military-Industrial Complex:

Sadly prophetic.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
