Not stupid. Further, I doubt many Americans know about 7/7. Do we use that as the basis for further assumptions? I am not calling them stupid. But they have a 38% literacy rate in Afghanistan. So getting stuff down on paper, working out logistics would be difficult right? These people are just trying to survive day to day. Im talking about rural Afghanistan, which is where the journalist goes to ask about these pictures. As for why 9/11 is important, its the justification Americans use for invading Afghanistan. I am not calling the people stupid for not knowing that. These are innocent people just trying to survive. They dont know what the Taliban played a part in, shit, they probably dont even care about who the Taliban are due to how autonomous parts of the country are. The reason I highlight the statistic in the title is people have directed so much hate at Middle Easterners post-9/11, yet so many in Afghanistan, the country we retaliated against, arent even aware of what happened. Or its just ancient history to them like one of the soldiers said. As times gone on, to us here in the states and the western world, its become less and less clear why we were still there too, yeah? --- I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite user on the Citadel. https://discord.gg/vzpsef2tJc - Join us for games \|\| https://bit.ly/39z7PHA - YouTube <cite>Alpha218 posted [p:957165757] in 92% of Afg...
