The System is Down with Dan Smotz

74: What the **** is Going on in Afghanistan? w. Scott Horton

We’re going on 17 years at war now, Bin Laden has been dead for 7.5 years, John McCain is dead, the war death count is in the tens of thousands and still climbing, but nobody seems to have a good reason for why we’re even there.Today’s episode is my conversation with the great historian, Scott Horton, on why we went to war and why there’s still no end...

The obvious question of the day is…. What the **** is going on in Afghanistan?

I don’t feel like nearly enough people are asking this question. We’re going on 17 years at war now, Bin Laden has been dead for 7.5 years, John McCain is dead, the war death count is in the tens of thousands and still climbing, but nobody seems to have a good reason for why we’re even there.

Today’s episode is my conversation with the great historian, Scott Horton, on why we went to war and why there’s still no end in sight.

We also recorded a full hour bonus episode where Scott and I got into why he no longer believes in the 9/11 conspiracy theories, what he thinks really occurred around Bin Laden’s death, who’s responsible for the OKC bombing, and much more. To listen to the bonus episode just follow the link to The Downers Club below.
