      I laughed reading this because it reminded me about how bad the US was at building anything in Iraq and Afghanistan. At one point US contractors charged almost 50 million dollars to build a single gas station and it never actually got completed. To be fair, US contractors are just as bad when hired to build infrastructure in the US.

        I remember some german army fat cat going “Our job is to destroy things and kill people” when they asked him as to why they failed so hard in afghanistan and he got ousted for that shit and it was whole big controversy

        I genuinely could never shake the feeling they fired the one guy who was aware of what their actual job was
