Long-time Daily Quoters will know that we've discussed Vice in the past, especially their geopolitical pieces on Syria.
Yes, these are turbulent times we live in, and one can be forgiven for holding the notion that the world is turning to absolute dog shit - to put it in eloquent terms.
Today's Daily Quota jumps back into the Vice archives, albeit a more recent piece. It's called 'Afghanistan - This is what winning looks like' (a cheeky allusion to Obama's famous words, which were, funnily enough, pretty similar to Nixon's 'victory with honour' when the US lost the Vietnam War)
This full length documentary that follows a British journalist behind the scenes of the debauchery and corruption that plagues the US effort to train up a new Afghan Army from villagers and volunteers.
Here's the Vice blurb:

This full length documentary that follows a British journalist behind the scenes of the debauchery and corruption that plagues the US effort to train up a new Afghan Army from villagers and volunteers.
Here's the Vice blurb:
"This Is What Winning Looks Like" is a disturbing new documentary about the ineptitude, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and corruption of the Afghan security forces as well as the reduced role of US Marines due to the troop withdrawal.
This is a great documentary. It's got some incredible footage, and the viewer can't help but find some of the conduct quasi-comical - especially the culture clash.
Bottom Line : This doesn't look like Winning at all.
