How much money was spent in Afghanistan since 2001 and they don’t have a proper water system? The graft must have been extreme.

Afghanistan's history is so sad, they've hardly ever been united, just a lot of warlords and wars with outsiders, wars with insiders.

I recall after the Taliban took over they put their folks in government office as you would expect. Some Taliban officials talked about explaining to others that running a hospital or public service by yelling at everyone doesn't produce results like on the battlefield.
