“You’re about as wrong as two boys f*cking afaic. Your hopeless negativism and defeatist attitude makes me want to puke.”
Hang your head out the window...it’d be a shame to ruin a good keyboard. You’ve confused saving face with winning a war. Our enemy is no longer there in any force that matters - no command and control, no logistical ability, no money and no power. It’s all in Pakistan and scattered across the globe. We’re all done in that shithole. Burn the poppies, salt the ground and move on. If you want a war, do it in Pakistan WHERE THE FING ENEMY IS.
If we leave Afghanistan to go play in Pakistan, our enemy will resurface in Afghanistan. We worked very hard to reduce his influence in Afghanistan. We need to follow that up by ensuring that he is never welcome there again. Pakistan clearly presents a new set of problems. I’m not suggesting that we ignore that problem, not by any means. I’m just suggesting that we hold what we got in Afghanistan.
