This Is What Winning Looks Like (Full Length)

Caption notes

This VICE documentary, released in 2013, juxtaposes public accounts of the transfer of security responsibilities in Afghanistan during the drawdown with reporter Ben Anderson’s interviews and field reporting. It asks whether being responsible and being able to carry out those responsibilities independently amount to the same thing. A US military adviser describes the limits of his role and explains why routine work such as training, supplies and recordkeeping matters to the handover.
