It’s called....results. We do not know what the level should be. We’re looking for results.

Results huh? This has already lasted four times longer than Pearl Harbor to the Surrender in Tokyo bay. Afghanistan isn’t any closer to being settled than it was 6 months after we arrived.

Please tell us what victory looks like there. You cannot seriously believe that we will somehow form them into a stable peaceful nation ruled by law. We are already fighting against kids born after, or who were mere toddlers when we invaded.

The fact is, that there is no way to “win” a war there. At this point it is simply an endless money teat for the defense world. And of course, now in 2017 about 93% of the worlds non pharmaceutical opiates come from there.....after we have run things for 16 years. That’s probably a coincidence.

What does “victory” lin Afghanistan really look like
To them? To us?
And how many of your kids’ lives are worth it?
