Afghanistan After Us: VICE on HBO Debrief (Episode 12)

Ben Anderson went back to Afghanistan to see the war-torn country that we're leaving behind. This is his debrief from Season 3 Episode 12 of VICE on HBO. Last year, the United States began withdrawing our combat troops from the longest war in our history: Afghanistan. But the war isn't ending just because we're leaving. This year, Afghan National Security Forces deaths and civilian casualties are both at record highs, and opium cultivation is at its highest since the war began. Ben Anderson returns to Helmand, the country's most violent province, to investigate the security situation in Afghanistan as American involvement winds down.
