It's despairing for the people of Afghanistan. 

It's also an incredible waste of life and money (stats below) - all that loss and for what? Imagine the problems that could have been solved with all that cash. 

2,312 - The number of US personnel killed

20,660 - The number of US personnel injured

$776bn - The official estimated cost of US operations since 2001

456 - The number of British deaths in Afghanistan since 2001

64,100 - The estimated number of Afghan military and police killed, 2001-19 (Source: Brown University)

111,000 - Number of civilians killed or injured (Source: UN)

Quite, we were warned about trying to engineer a new country were we weren't wanted. What a waste.
