Concerns are mounting from bipartisan US lawmakers and Afghan women's rights activists that the hard-won gains for women and civil society in Afghanistan could be lost if the United States makes a precipitous withdrawal from the country.

President Joe Biden has suggested it will be difficult to meet the May 1 deadline for US troops to leave the country as dictated in the deal the Trump administration signed with the Taliban. However, there are fears that if the US withdraws troops before the conditions on the ground are right -- regardless of the date on the calendar -- there will be a sharp and possibly catastrophic backslide.

If my child expressed interest in joining the military, I would strongly try to change his mind. No way I would my son to die exporting Wokism.

It appears that the lobbyists from the military industrial complex continue to pay all the right people. I HATE America’s foreign policy.

Tell them it is settled law. That always seems to silence people in America.

We have always been at war with Oceania! The RATs are setting up a forever war as a permanent distraction from the damage they are going to do at home.

Are we going to make US women register for the draft just in case we need to send a lot of them over to Afghanistan? Why not? Don’t we think women should be treated equally?

Unless you’re willing to end Islam in Afghanistan, any progress there on women’s rights in a Western sense is a chimera, a complete fiction. Since no one is willing to do that, people discussing it in a serious way only reveal themselves as fools.

It’s a forever war because the RATs dare not name the enemy or even try to defeat it: Islam.

These days it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the Ayatollah Khomenei was absolutely correct when he called the United States of America “the Great Satan.”

Can men who identify as women escape registering for the draft?

Are young women who identify as men prosecuted when they don’t register for the draft?

I am one of the most adamant proponents of equal opportunity for box sexes. Yet there is nothing any outside country can do to change a religion-based culture of another country. Only a 100% Genghis-Kahn sweep cleanout of 3-4 generations of every male in the country would work. So move away, move on.

If there was a cancerous evil that promoted terror and lies in a never ending quest to enslave all of mankind how would such a demonic plague be different than Islam?
