The clusterfuck that is Afghanistan
#3
On the other hand Mark, not winning the war in Afghanistan may well be the underlying aim of US military engagement there, as it was in Vietnam?

An "unwinnable" war can drag on for years and years and years and years. Lots of bang-bang along with the smoke and mirrors. Lots and lots of money disappearing down unfathomable rabbit holes.

Just the thing for the boys wouldn't you say?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
