Fuck that’s tone deaf.
You’d think the CIA would want everyone to forget they were involved with the Mujahideen or have any association with Afghans and airplanes but nope.
The replies are about what you’d expect.
CIA is just fine stepping on their own dick because nothing ever happens to them. Your legislator always protects them. They can do anything; completely unaccountable with not only the gross miscalculations but also the millions of policy subversions they carry out.
