Barrelful of lawsuits threatens May 1 Afghan pullout

You cannot make this up.

The February 29, 2020 peace agreement the U.S. made with the Taliban and Afghan government called for the U.S. to be out of Afghanistan May 1, 2021, just a month away.

But even before the ink was dry on the agreement, the Pentagon began inking agreements with defense contractors to keep supplying America’s Afghan war machine indefinitely.

Government financial officials are now warning of “a barrelful of lawsuits” if the U.S. does pull out May 1, ending need for all that military gear defense contractors are banking on.

One ponders did the Pentagon keep making those agreements out of sheer stupidity, or with the devious intent of tying up Uncle Sam’s arms to prevent him from waving home the boys and girls in that failed, war torn country.

My guess is the latter. When it comes to extending perpetual wars in perpetuity, the Pentagon practices not sheer stupidity…just sheer evil genius.
