My general question is, at what point can we say we got even for September 11th?

We went into Afghanistan because the Taliban government gave safe harbor to Bin Laden. Bin Laden was killed years ago.

So why are we still there?

Well said. We’re still there because W decided to try his hand at nation building while he was there. Then it became like the tar baby.

That is what we've been told.

“So why are we still there?”

I’ve been asking that question since I was mobilized for Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1992!

Bring our kids, and in some cases, GRANDKIDS, HOME!

We’re never, EVER going to be able to straighten out the ME.

As always - follow the money! SOMEONE is making BIG MONEY off of American Blood & Treasure!

Providing career advancement and contracts. Every officers with goals of getting a ticket want to stay in.

That and keeping the RUSSIANS out.

Never mind no one has been able to hold Afghanistan, ever.

But Biden will continue the forever war. Until we end up abandoning everything there.
