Ann Jones: In Bed With the U.S. Army

TomDispatch regular Ann Jones approaches Afghanistan and the American war effort from quite a different perspective. She’s proven a rarity in the way she’s reported back to us in these years. She arrived in Kabul in 2002, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, to work with Afghan women on their problems. Unlike almost any other American who wrote about the experience, she embedded herself in an Afghan world.

Ann Jones points to many of the problems with COIN and the last nine years in her narrative in this article…worth a read and some thinking.
