REPEAT FROM ANOTHER FREEPER:

Nobody wins in Afghanistan.
Alexander the Great couldn’t conquer it 2350 years ago, Genghis Khan gave up, the Brits gave up, the Russian’s gave up. It’s not worth the effort and the Afghanis don’t want anyone there. We should cut our losses, kill as many Taliban as is possible as a punitive act, and then just abandon it.

And the key phrased “its not worth the effort”, plus it serves no purpose.

You mean we should kill terrorists and refrain from nation building? Where have I heard that before? Somebody else said that tonight. In fact he gave a speech saying that.

[Parley Baer]

We are not there to take over Afghanistan or do any nation building. We are there to kill ISIS and other terrorists.
