If they are not willing to shed their blood to stay free, why should we shed ours?
GWB had us go in there in the first place because Afghanistan was harboring the terrorists who took down the towers. OK, revenge against the Taliban — I get that. But Afghanistan is always going to be harboring a bad element, so we can never ‘leave’ unless we change our minds about GWB’s reasoning. I think we’ve all reached that point.
They are stupid oafs who prefer the infidels (US soldiers) to do their fighting for them. Also, they’ve enjoyed US largesse for 17-18 years in building up their infrastructure. And they have the “toys” the US Military provides to play with. This is fun and games for them.
If they are not willing to shed their blood to stay free, why should we shed ours?
Your statement does not make sense to me. Many more Afghans have died, on both sides, than Americans.
Most of them would claim they died to “stay free” either from the “non-believers” or other Muslims.
I sort of see where you are going.
If they are not willing to shed their blood to stay free, why should we shed ours?

I said that at the start many years ago although it seemed selfish.
BUT
George Washington and the men whose feet bled without shoes or boots enough that some could follow the trail of blood in the snow to locate them, did not have help from large foreign armies.
In fact, the British lined up Native Americans to kill them and hired German Hessians as mercenaries (as ones killed when Washington iconically was shown crossing the Delaware).
Arabs seem to be whiny wimps who were born on land with oil under it. Otherwise they would be ignored like the people of Eritrea,Gambia and Liberia who still live on dirt floors under their shacks in 2019, waiting for someone else to help them. When someone does again, they will spit on them and hate them and sell them out to China and Russia. That’s what people we help do.
Stop the foreign aid to people who hate us and our race.
