Now, you go out there, you go into Marjah, you go into Lashkar Gah, it's all Pashtun, as you know.
This is the Taliban.
We're not winning any hearts and minds there, I can tell you that.
I'm not sure we ever will.
Kandahar's the same, of course.
Can I be completely frank with you, sir?

It's a lost cause.
This whole province constitutes just 4% of the population of the country.
It's strategically meaningless.
