I can’t claim any secret knowledge of our plans for the war. But my personal belief is that the whole thing has been allowing a huge amount of young people to grow up without the foot of the extremists quite so heavy on their throat. Now hopefully when we do leave they will not like being under someone elses foot, and there will be enough that grew up with a taste for some freedoms, and they will organize and fight to keep it.
You are 100% Keeeeerect!
