Ann Jones, author of They Were Soldiers: How the Wounded Return from America’s Wars, discusses the ongoing yet already-forgotten war in Afghanistan; a history of US intervention in Afghanistan since the 1950s; repeating the mistakes of Soviet occupation; and the factions jockeying for power in anticipation of President Hamid Karzai’s departure from office.

and to Ann Jones the grand lady of history.
Note carefully that Ann did not tell men what to do,

that shows men what they must do.
