So all things considered, the minimum level of troops to prevent the Taliban from expanding into more territory.
We will never win in Afghanistan. Nobody ever has. It is where empires go to die.
We’ve done enough unless we are determined to wipe out the Taliban and whatever else the terrorists call themselves now we need to walk away.
We have left enough treasure there. The people of this country do’t appreciate it anyway. They need a taste of a threat to their freedom in their own back yard. They don’t deserve their hedonistic lifestyle on the back of great young men.
Nothing here about a change of strategy. 4,000 or 50,000, if the goal is still to impose a central govenment on people who don’t want one, the results will be the same.
McMaster needs to go. OUT with that damn spot! He was instrumental in getting rid of Bannon.
Wiiiithout Bannon the Trump presidency is done, he is a one term president who will have 3 more years of lame duck.
Pull the troops and add more unmanned LRS-Bs.
I just don’t see how the craphole known as Afghanistan is in our vital national security interest. Get out yesterday.
The number isn’t as significant as the choice of direction. In for a penny in for a pound, all too often, with this sort of thing.
