Amen. Send them to some other war-torn country. Like America.
Bring them home from Germany, too - enough is enough.
But it’s only been 19 years! What’s the rush?
“There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.”There is only one thing that stops “endless war”, and that is victory.
“In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.”

I find it hard to form an opinion about Afghanistan because I haven’t heard anyone articulate what our mission is over there.
Good idea. Let the Dems run on a pro-war platform
“You will be best served if you listen to your gut instincts on this momentous decision. We urge you to ignore any ‘wisdom’ from the bipartisan cabal of phony experts in the administrative state that have bungled both military and diplomatic campaigns since their start in 2001 and 2003 respectively,” they continued.
“Iraq and Afghanistan do not possess any weapons that can reach the continental United States. Moreover, neither nation is vital to the national security of the United States. Finally, neither nation is worth one more Gold Star family,” they added.

"The president's instincts are right to note have a permanent American presence in Eastern Syria, that is not in the interest fo the United States," he said. "On the flip side, abandoning the Kurs is not the best idea. But there are other ways to do this. The perfect analogy is the Flying Tigers: when you had Japan in the 1930s bombing the hell out of Chinese cities, America was not going to be involved. But FDR, a beloved Democrat, allowed American Marines, Navy, and Army pilots to go work for a private company that became the Flying Tigers. and they defended Chinese cities against Japanese aggression before the United States entered the war."
The Eisenhower warning about the Military-Industrial Complex is alive and well....
There is no achievable victory in Afghanistan now. We got Bin Laden. We went from that and punishing the Taliban for harboring him being our goal to a goal that involves wiping out an ideology (which will never happen) and building up a modern democratic nation from something that was in the tribal stone ages before we got there.
What we went in to do was done a long time ago. No more wasted American lives on lost causes. No more endless wars. No more nation building, except when that nation is the United States of America.
Never going to happen, there is no way in hell the CIA and others in our government are going to give up the Opium Trade and off the books profits
