Sounds like a big move in the right direction.

Pray for the speedy and safe return of all our troops.

I was there in 2007. By the time I left, I had concluded we would need to stay 100+ years to make a difference. And no one in their right mind would stay there 100+ years...

The trick will be to get them out safely.

It is about time. We have plenty of Missiles and Bombs to deal with future problems there. No need for Boots on the ground.

Now fire everyone at USD(I), DIA, the Joint Staff, and CIA who couldn't succinctly identify the enemy and how to kill them.

That will leave a lot of people in the unemployment line, and will send a message to everyone: don't play games and don't be PC when it comes to war.

I have no doubt we have built in Afghanistan and Syria the capability to watch very closely what’s going on with our ISR assets and national technical means.

He is clearly clearing military spending by doing this he will have enough saved in military spending to build the wall several times over. Bet on it. He knows this is his best option. Sure the dems will say he can’t do that but he is the Commander in Cheif and he certainly can.

Leave it for the s-hole it has always been, it is unfixable and we are done with nation-building. If ISIS acts up, smash them like bugs.

Our continual involvement in the occupation of that $***hole was the apogee of the Bush nation building stupidity.

Our goal there should have been to destroy the Talib an and pull out.

The reason we remained, I BELIEVE, is because of globalist interests in rare minerals there.

Syris is a different story entirely. I believe Trump is making a mistake there.

I heard the other day that the ONLY reason we stay there is to keep groups like Taliban and al-Queda away, out of the country.

We could be in Afghanistan fighting for 100 years and not defeat/pacify them. They live to fight.

Islam, like communism, cannot be defeated without going full all out war against any such nations supporting our enemy.

We have three choices:

1. Go for full victory by taking the battle to any nation that supports islamic terrorism.

2. Continue fighting a defensive war in Afghanistan for forever.

3. Get out and let nature take it’s course, which means the Taliban and related forces will eventually take full control. (Something very similar happened in 1975.)

Thank Bush and his globalist buddies for this endless nightmare.

How are we going to secure the Rare Earth Minerals If our military is not there to “protect” the people?

About damn time. They don’t care if we’re there or not. As soon as we leave they’ll go back to the same crap as before. They don’t want to progress.
