I don’t understand what you are trying to say. Yes we have troops in Germany and Japan, I don’t need to get over it. Not sure what you mean by that. But we are not fighting Nazis in Germany today, whereas we still have never wiped out the Taliban. As I said not sure if you are responding to my points or just making additional points.

Yes, but if we hadn’t stayed — just as we didn’t stay after World War One — there’s no telling what kind of trouble might have developed.
Ditto for Japan and ditto for Korea. Staying was a wise decision, just as it will be wise to maintain some kind of presence in Afghanistan for years.
