Sen. Ben Sasse issues statement calling for indefinite continuation of Afghanistan War, currently in its 20th year. Says to bring any troops home would be a "retreat" and "not grounded in reality." #20MoreYearsShouldDoIt

Sure, send his ass over.
He’s got an 18-year-old girl and a couple of boys, 16 and 9. I hope they’re being prepped for their enlistments.
We will NEVER Leave Afghanistan, there is way too much Opium Money to be made, Billions a Year
Republicans are mostly awful people.
How would you like your son or daughter to be the last, or the next US servicemember to be killed in a war that we have no interest in winning?
Or your wife, or your husband?
What the heck?
Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan in 2001 are old enough to retire on half pay.
They could have kids old enough to deploy.
Bring ‘em home. Bring “em ALL home.
This, and the Lindsey Graham fist bump...
Another day, another day we’re putting up with it.
We need someone really good to primary him. I bet he’s running for President before that.
Did he say this from a recruiting office where he was signing up?

Generally speaking I think President Trump has done a very good job handling the conflict in Afghanistan and opening new opportunities between the United States and Pakistan.
It is my hope that one day all American forces will be able to return home.

A drawdown to 2,500 counter-terrorism forces may be sufficient, but should be conditions based, to protect America’s interests.
I look forward to hearing our commander’s views on this matter.

It is imperative, for our own national security, that a counter-terrorism force remain in Afghanistan until conditions warrant their removal.
A counter-terrorism force in Afghanistan is an insurance policy against another 9/11.

I am hopeful but very suspicious of any efforts by the Taliban to reject al-Qaeda in any meaningful way.
It is not in America’s interests for Afghanistan to sink back into civil war as that is a ripe opportunity for ISIS and al-Qaeda to reemerge in force.
Not by the troops dying over there or their famiies
GOP losers love their wars.
Killing more Americans for a pile of sand.
If there is opium money being pocketed by an agency in the US, it’s a very good bet that it’s the CIA.
Which makes it that much worse.
Like...now we’re there to stop a civil war in Afghanistan.
Like when was there not a civil war in Afghanistan
And when was the last taliban attack on the US mainland?

“There has indeed been a “marked resurgence” of Iranian state sponsorship of terrorism over the past 18 months. But as the new Nisman report drives home, here’s an even more disturbing fact — Iran has run intelligence networks in the United States’ backyard to “sponsor, foster and execute terrorist attacks” for decades.”
“Criminal plans” by Iran could be under way in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, the report said.

The link between drugs and crime, including violent crime, would be hard to overstate in Chicago. Eighty-six percent of adult males arrested in Chicago last year tested positive for drug use. Chicago, with a population of 2.7 million, had 506 murders in 2012, the highest per capita among the four most populous U.S. cities.
