I was in Kandahar, Afghanistan, for 15 months in 2004 & 2005. This coming May, will make 16 years past tense. It seems like just yesterday in memory, and yet when the term “going on 19 years on the ground” is uttered about our involvement, it boggles my mind.
We never wiped out their poppy fields. And then there’s this >>> 70,000 U.S. opioid overdose deaths in 2017. Riddle me that- batman. (to no one in particular)
Thank you President Trump. Good riddance Afghanistan. Die deep state, die.
