Has anyone told the government Bin Laden is no longer in the house. When did we forget why we went there? It clearly wasn’t for the nude beaches.
What happened to the “Four Year Rule”?
When I was a kid growing up, the history books were clear on this matter. The US government would get involved, and four (4) years later, they won, and that would it. See: 1861-1865, 1914-1918 1941-1945
I’m only half joking, if a situation can’t be resolved in 4 years, the hell with it. Don’t get involved in the first place either, if the government is not prepared to achieve their objectives. The latter day policies of half-assed BS, criminal rules of engagement and telegraphing war plans, all that’s nonsense. They can’t even articulate why “we” are deployed in all these different shitholes around the world. “Compelling national interest”? Sure, take another bong hit.
Bring the troops home.
Excuse me, but Afghanistan's military forces are the Taliban, and they seem to be thriving.
The forces referred to above as "Afghanistan's military and security forces" are not of the nation, as is instantly clear when you reflect that they would disappear - will disappear - as soon as US forces are withdrawn.
Bring back nuclear artillery and shell the shit out of them. That would end the stalemate and save American lives
Eric Prince has an excellent plan, but the war machine hates him.
We have a overrun southern border with a “temporary” Army presence and permanent Army presence in a shithole 8K miles away. MAKES NO SENSE.
Gen McKenzie is the real deal, probably the smartest we have. He assimilates data like a fiend and distilled complex problems down to one sentence. He doesn’t miss a trick.
Hi.
I’ve said this before on this forum and I’ll say it again.
You can’t bring a 6th century tribal culture into the 21st century if they don’t want to.
We could nuke the place from orbit, killing only the imams and mullahs, and nothing would change.
We should get out and...nuke it from orbit anyway.
Imho.

Only reason we are in Afghanistan in the first place is cause they gots LOADS of precious rare minerals.
Get said minerals elsewhere.
These fools do not deserve our support.
To hell with em. Not one more American death or maiming for this shit called Afghanistan.
Get us the hell out of this forever mess.
Let them continue killing each other forever.
see col sellin’s latest report on this last day or so.......
I get extremely torn by what to do with Afghanistan.
Part of me is worried about what seems dishonorable to the U.S. troops who have already died or been wounded there - to just get out, and part of me seriously believes that Afghanistan does not have a culture among a majority of its people upon which a true victory over the Taliban can be built.
I fear we are throwing good money after bad, yet I aslo have a sinking pit in my stomach thinking about picking up and leaving a battle so many Americans have already sacrificed for. What can we, what must we say to them? “Sorry” does not seem to satisfy.
