There was never a good purpose to ground troops in Afghanistan.
No one has ever tamed it and no one ever will.
30 days of daily B-52 raids was all the effort it was worth.

I agree. I'm with Paul on this one. As long as we are there, Afghanistan will be a magnet for every jihadist in that part of the world; it will be never-ending. This is like a gambler who's lost big, trying to recoup his losses with even more reckless gambling. If we leave, and they start building new terrorist camps, we come in and bomb them, and go home.
Trump should have stuck with his instincts.
