I agree with him on the nation building. My hope was that we’d go over there and blow them to hell and be done with it.

Agree. We should have finished in Iraq and turned east through Iran before we returned home. It would be cheaper to repeat this every few years as needed vs occupying and nation building. I bet we would have fewer casualties as well.

I don’t think there is any chance a neutral democracy could be created in Afghanistan that could even last 3 years without our troops present.

Regardless of what I think, I still pray for our soldiers and their families every day and I am thankful and proud of them.
