退役美国海军上将James G. Stavridis在Bloomberg上发表的评论文章。方便没有订阅的浪人，这里节选一部分内容：

"... the effort failed in many separate aspects. First comes the lack of will and leadership on the part of the Afghan government and people. "

" In retrospect, we trained the wrong kind of army for Afghanistan. "

" We should have emphasized what might be called “Afghan-right” fighters, meaning forces that were far lighter, and could fight in decentralized teams, squads, light platoons and quick-maneuver companies."

" the Afghans should have been organized into local, light-defense forces in and around their own villages, districts and provinces. People will fight much harder when it is their own family behind them."

" ' We gave them everything they needed, and they failed.'... Americans also need to admit that we built that failed army, over the course of 15 years."
