Money isn’t going to get the job done, although that’s pretty much all Japan can do under it’s constitution. Throwing money at the problem when you have an Afghan government that still deals in corruption and graft isn’t going to improve matters.

Boots on the ground is what’s needed - and on that point NATO has fallen real short primarily because the Europeans have let their military capabilities atrophy to a troubling degree.
