The Book of Trump Chapter 22: The War in Afghanistan

In this powerful episode, Ghost is joined by CannCon to unravel the tangled history of America’s longest war. The conversation begins with George W. Bush’s televised announcement of Operation Enduring Freedom, then pivots into a deep exploration of how U.S. policies and covert funding shaped Afghanistan’s fate. CannCon shares vivid, firsthand accounts from multiple deployments, from building the remote 7171 base to daily firefights and confronting the grim reality of poppy fields fueling the opioid crisis back home. The discussion examines how the CIA’s Cold War strategies birthed the mujahideen and laid the groundwork for decades of conflict.

Alongside personal reflections on brotherhood, trauma, and the sense of futility, the episode challenges official narratives, questioning whether the war’s failures were incompetence or by design. Stories of bizarre moments, like discovering a massive IED in a bulldozer bucket and witnessing UFOs on patrol, punctuate the grim recollections. Packed with unflinching honesty, historical context, and hard-won perspective, this chapter is a sobering look at the cost of endless interventionism.

Each week, Ghost of Based Patrick Henry will be joined by a rotation of guest co-hosts to document and discuss the history that we are witnessing unfold before our eyes, to the best of their discernment. Think of it as a "first draft" of the story of this age. You will get everything from TrumpaMania and geopolitics, to Devolution and Q, with The Donald serving as our story's main protagonist. The goal is to be both fun and informative; a show for anons by anons.

All history is interpretation. This is ours.
