Bush, Cheney, and the rest of them ought to hang their heads in shame. What a horrible waste of our good people and so much money. My heart breaks for those who lost loved ones or came back maimed. I don't know if the warmongers really thought they could remake the world, or if they just profit from war.

Remember there are still Bush League Republican Senators that want us to stay and waste more lives.

Never should have set one boot on the ground in that God forsaken land.

When I see our wounded warriors I think of what the neocons did to them and our country.

Take all the women who want to leave and bring them to the country of their choice . . . then offer the men who don’t want to stay and give them passage to India or Pakistan. Remove the troops and make it clear to the Taliban that the next time they try to aid terrorism they face nuclear ruin. Let them practice their crap without any women to serve them.

Makes me sick - the entire middle east save Israel is not worth one drop of American blood, never has been. I despise these warmongering neocon bastards with every fiber of my being.

There is a saying about Africa: Africa wins again. The same can be said about Afghanistan: Afghanistan wins again. The graveyard of empires. Sooner or later, Afghanistan always wins.

Going in to pound Al Qaeda and Osama was one thing, staying to try to build Afghanistan into a modern nation state was madness and a waste of good American lives.

It’s not our circus, not our monkeys.

The sad thing is that we won decisive victories in both Afghanistan and Iraq only to have the victories squandered and thrown down the toilet by feckless politicians and generals.

Obama left Iraq to hand it over to ISIS and Iran and kept us bound and hobbled in Afghanistan so as to demoralize and help the Taliban our troops wear down our weapons and maim and demoralize our soldiers. We never should have left Iraq and we should have left Afghanistan 15 years ago.

We haven’t won a war since world war 2. I’m not counting the Gulf war since Iraq never really stood a chance against the United States as his troops were not trained in the Western way of warfare.

Though we will never win a war when our tactics are being guided and second guessed by lawyers.

The Taliban were animals and they should have been eliminated without a second thought.

We can’t blame our troops. We have to place the blame where it belongs our politicians.

The Constitution of Afghanistan is inherently Islamic. We should never have defended any such country.

The Taliban have been on tenterhooks to forge ahead with their scheme since President Joe Biden announced the withdrawal of troops back in April

I've seen this movie. It ends with the hero climbing over piles of skulls before escaping to freedom.

Took out the Talibanin like a week m

Then did not eliminate them off the face of the Earth.

Bush and Obama.

There should have been no Taliban alive after 2002.
