The bigger question is this:
What is the U.S. doing in Afghanistan, 8,000 miles away from the U.S. mainland, in the first place?
Why are we “fighting” a backwards, 3rd world hell hole that is not in any way a threat to us?
My niece (active military husband) told me last night her friend’s husband had been killed in Afghanistan.
So, he died defending the U.S.?
Our troops are 1/2 way around the world “defending ‘our interests’ (whatever they are) while our country is being invaded from the south and torn apart by violent revolutionaries every damn night.
Tell that to the widow.
Amen! I’m of the mind set that not one more drop of US blood needs to be spilled overseas. Pull all of our troops home, close all of our foreign bases, and let those countries sort out their own problems. One American life lost fighting on foreign soil is one too many IMO.
Well that depends on who is giving the orders to the congress...the industrial military complex? Then we fight for naught.
America is being invaded by the Taliban and those like them, every single day through our open borders.
