Okay, well go sell that argument to a parent whose lost someone. Please explain to me what on earth are we still in Afghanistan for instance. Either the Taliban is killing our people or the Afghan army is. For what? I guess history about that country over the centuries is lost on whoever is new in office.
“Okay, well go sell that argument to a parent whose (sic) lost someone.”
You act as though you have established the principal that parental grief has some bearing on the necessity for defending ourselves. You haven’t. Countries have to fight wars even though parents suffer grief.

Generally speaking, opposing evil is the right thing to do. Which is what we *were* doing in Afghanistan until the Negro from Nairobi was hustled into the White Hut. Obunghole has intentionally screwed up in Afghanistan. He knows that a satisfactory resolution would benefit the US, and he desires only to harm the US.
We had a chance to control this thing over there, but our “civilian leadership” screwed up again—of course. We could have ended it in Kabul; now we’ll fight it on the streets of Atlanta.
Asking why we should defend ourselves is perhaps the stupidest question that human beings have ever uttered. A person who goes around asking it is either an agent of a foreign hostile power or a drooling moron, completely without education, experience, or intelligence.
“I guess history about that country over the centuries is lost on whoever is new in office.”
People who think “war is not the answer” are too stupid to understand the question.
