Many in the US question the effectiveness of the tens of billions of taxpayer dollars Washington spent on foreign military training programs now that thousands of Pentagon-trained security forces in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia have collapsed, stalled or defected.
The setbacks have been most pronounced in three countries most important to Washington.
The Pentagon-trained army and police in Iraq’s Anbar Province, the heartland of the Islamic State militant group, have barely engaged its forces, while several thousand American-backed government forces and militiamen in Afghanistan’s Kunduz Province had to fall back last week when attacked by several hundred Taliban fighters.
And in Syria, a $500 million US program to train local rebels to fight the Islamic State terrorist group has produced a mere sixty fighters, give or take.

It should have been clear long ago that our "war on terror" was a scam to allow "defense" contractors (a.k.a. war criminals) to make billions of dollars while testing new weapons on helpless civilian populations.
How stupid can we be?
