Defoliate the crops

Dynamite every bridge, power plant, and dam

And leave

Why are Americans still shedding blood in that forsaken alien place? Another Bush legacy. Trump should just follow his instincts, pull out and let them reach their own consensus.

These are the consequences of the Swamp’s globalist fantasies. Too bad its not the globalists themselves who are deployed and shed blood.

We should get the heck out of Afghanistan.
Many have tried to tame it, all have failed.

President Trump gave them “a little more time”. I’m disappointed that we’re still involved in places we shouldn’t be. As long as those who profit from wars contribute to political campaigns, no amount of time will ever be “enough”.

You and I are on the same page w/ all these failed forays. I guess they are a success in the pocketbooks of those profiting from our perpetual wars around the globe.

Kill all Males in Afghanistan.

If Pakistan starts sending males to take their places, rinse and repeat in the provinces bordering Afghanistan.

Good thing I’m not in charge.
