The problem is that Obola screwed things up in Afghanistan so walking away suddenly would make things even worse.

It isn’t right that America should be shouldering this burden alone though.

I'm not sure what exactly "the burden" is.

The U.S. effort in Afghanistan was a disaster from the start. There's no way a modern nation can maintain a long-term occupation in a place where a disproportionate number of the people who live there have a Stone Age mentality.
