The military industrial complex just can't let go.
They're supposed to just leave them to it. That is what withdrawal means...
Like more bombs dropped on them is going to make a difference?

This is how we “got out” of Vietnam. Remove the troops but keep the airplanes a comin’.

Right? My thought...so, we are still at war in Afghanistan. How many years now? 21?

Wait, are we in 2001 or in 2021?
For a minute there I thought we were back in 2001 when we started bombing the Taliban with B52'S and what not.
Fat lot of good that ended up doing.
But hey, Dementia Joe don't know what year we are in. Chuckle.

Which ended up with the communists winning and taking over.

I want to see some MOABs dropped on them, those are real crowd pleasers.
Those would pucker Chicom and Russian asses up watching that on the evening news.

Hmmmm, why am I getting visions of Lloyd Austin and and Joe Biden crawling around on the oval office floor marking up maps on what can be bombed and what can’t be?

If you really want a show hit them with Napalm and light up their life.
To: RandFan
All for show: doing something. It is costly,puts crews in danger, does very little in the long run and puts the American face back on a conflict we retreated from.

"This is how we “got out” of Vietnam. Remove the troops but keep the airplanes a comin’." Not all the troops I'm afraid. Special Forces are still on the ground with the coalition forces. Somebody that speaks "Ground Truth" has to communicate with Specter and the BUFFs.
To: RandFan
The only way to effectively deal with religious zealots is to kill them.
The gunships can kill a lot of them very quickly and more effectively than the bombers. Mosques on Friday are a target rich environment

And we could be there for 210 years with the same result. We still need to train the Afghan air force to fight on its own, the provisional government would needs more US taxpayer dollars (just like the neverending pasta bowl at Olive Garden), and the Liz Cheney of that era would be bawling that if we left horrible things would happen.

Yeah, but MOABs will pucker all the bad guys that see it on TV.
A couple dropped on Iran by accident would be good too.
