[Sequoyah101]

Afghanistan is a waste of blood and treasure.

It will never change.

The whole of SW Asia will never change and can only be contained at best. You are right, nothing will turn them from Islam and Islam is the root of the problem.

After the special forces did their work it was time to leave, you are correct.

Right after 9-11 we should have leveled the country and left it a parking lot. Then, pull back to a base and flex our muscle when necessary. Only way to conduct this. We are spending too much money and senselessly losing American lives the way our government is handling this. We need a presence, because of Iran. But, nation building is never gonna succeed.
