Bing West, former assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration and author of The Wrong War, explains why he feels the U.S. military should not be in the business of nation-building and describes the single biggest killer of U.S. forces who are fighting in Afghanistan.


A Marine combat vet, Bing West also served as assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs in the Reagan administration. Today, in addition to helming the GAMA Corporation, which develops training techniques for combat decision-making, he's an acclaimed war correspondent and best-selling author, whose books on Iraq have won several awards. West called upon his observations while being embedded with dozens of frontline units in Afghanistan over the past two years to pen The Wrong War, an account of the conflict in that country.

Time to wrap up that clusterfunk and call it a decade.
