That’s insane. Afghanistan gives us two choices. Stay forever in a meatgrinder, or leave and watch it remain a moslem corrupt evil hellhole.
Its a fantasy that staying another month, year, or decade will ever make them into a human nation. Continuing to fight to give past casualties “meaning” is the very worst reason for staying I can imagine.
if we would pull the ROE’s and let the true Mil ( not the JAGs) fight the fight the way they want to fight it , we would WIN... We would win ever war , decisively , if the clueless CIVs would just stay out of it . AFG included .
If we leave and let the Taliban declare victory it will be a HUGE mistake . Nuking the Taliban out of existence would make more sense .
