What an incredible work by Matt Farwell here. Through a story of one guy from Idaho that was kidnapped by an organization that wouldn’t have existed without Operation Cyclone, you get a glimpse into the mess and crime that was the American invasion/occupation of Afghanistan.
You get a great peak into how institutions such as the CIA and Army were battling their own wars within the American establishment. A humanizing look into the man and family that were used as cannon fodder by the military to try and find some wins in a hopeless war, a fact not unknown to most of the people engaged in the fighting. Be they higher ups or rank and file combatants. Also great insight into how quickly the “respect our troops” media crowd will turn to regurgitating enemy propaganda if it suits their political purposes.
Great historical context and expose of the contradiction of the US military establishment told through the tragedy that was Bowe Bergdahl’s senseless five year captivity.
