Good point. But I’d assume the Taliban would not just give it away. And I don’t want a single one of my tax dollars to go to that scum.

Plus there’s the mission creep thing. Americans occupy the airfield. And someone from an adjacent neighborhood starts lobbing shells into the place.

The next thing you know, we’re engaging with the neighborhood.

Best if we just stay out of that hell hole.
