This Is What Winning Looks Like (Full Length)

When people ask why we lost in Afghanistan, we can just refer them to this documentary.

"We left all those weapons, we're not making that same mistake again."🤣🤣 Aged like fucking milk.

It breaks my heart that this version of Vice will likely never be seen again.

This should've won an award or many awards. Out of all the Vice docs I've seen, this is the best story telling. The editors and Ben deserve to be recognized.

This was always one of Vice's best documentaries. Here we are almost a decade later and everything shown in this documentary came true. "Half will join the Taliban, half will just vanish." Explains perfectly what happened just a few days ago.

What I gather from this documentary is the US-supported Afghani Military and Government never had the support of the Afghani people. They don't believe in it. For the Afghani soldiers, this is just a gig. They don't care about the missions any more than a Walmart cashier would care about the latest corporate sales push or quarterly earnings.

"he's still a warrior even in death" -a marine speaking of a young Taliban fighter who was killed. Powerful statement and very true.

How do you even begin to fix a society where it's impossible to find a police chief who isn't a child predator. Truly a doomed state

Goddamn the look Major Steuber has on his face is heartbreaking.

I hope that Major Steuber is ok. I have no idea how he kept himself sane. This documentary should have far more views than just 7 million it's such an accurate representation of what really went down in Afghanistan. A follow up interview with Major Steuber would be really interesting but personally I just hope he's ok. He should write a book.

”Thousands of people have died here. Americans, British, German (and more). How can they expect us to be able to stand up against th Taliban alone, once they’ve left” That is pretty much what that old man said and it was so correct.

Some of the last words in this documentary from 2012: "You get the impression these guys are not going to last either, I mean certainly when they're on their own they're not going to last. I spoke to a few Afghan friends who've come from here and said, what do you think's gonna happen to these guys after we really leave? You know, half of them will join the Taliban, the other half will just vanish." Seems to have been pretty accurate.

Who else coming back in August 2021 to remind themselves of the inevitable end we knew was coming nearly a decade ago?

The soldier that said “we tried to bring him a sheet; he was a warrior, he deserved a warriors death.” I believe it was Steuber Is the OG. If we had more men like this in the army we would be good. Honesty, Honor, Knowledge. God Bless Soldier who ever you are.

it's such an eery scary feeling watching this knowing the inevitable future of this country. its so scary to know how horrible it is in other places of the world it really humbles you and makes you grateful, never will I complain about such little things knowing some people are born in a country like that, 150 years in the past, a living hell. It's so sad it sucks even more knowing there's nothing you can do about it. Just praying these poor children and women make it out alive somehow or that one day this country is restored

“You guys are professionals, that’s why you don’t shoot into a crowd of people” “What did he say?”

The entire ambassador visit was an embarrassment

Major Steuber was selected for promotion to Colonel in the U.S. Marines Reserve in 2021. At least being candid didn’t end his career. I think he‘ll never forget his tours in AFG, what a sobering experience for someone who’s willing to give his life for the greater good.

Imagine being a professional solider with years and years of training only having to risk your life baby sitting some junkies which you know will fall the second the organized military leaves.
