Stanley A. McChrystal , Michael Hastings -Understanding USAs Afghan War 1- Why US Failed in Afghanistan. 2- Secret story of OBL capture and coverups. 3- Conceptual flaws in US strategy. 4- How callously safety of US soldiers was sacrificed to benefit drug and non drug contraband smugglers. 5- How simple steps could have minimized US casualties in Afghanistan at little cost to US tax payer. This is a short narrative of US Afghan War from 2001 to 2014. Stanley A Mc Chrystal’s autobiographical account cum official history and Michael Hastings iconoclastic hard hitting personal account are two catalysts and primers of this narrative. My personal and historical fascination with Afghan War pre dates both narratives, although both narratives have crucial historical value, despite Stanley’s whitewashing US military history’s dirty linen and Hastings powerful volleys of verbal artillery , sometimes misconceived and misdirected , but by and large close to reality. Stanley is a man of this world , who has climbed up the institutional ladder and continues to be part of the haves in a sociopolitical system, which although not totally perfect is one of mankinds land mark achievements. That Michael Hastings was able to get published in US main stream press and be heard is a testament to the fact that the US despite all its failings is a great democracy where pluralism exists if not thrive.
