Have we been fighting in Germany for 80 years? No. The goat humpers were just biding their time because they knew we were leaving. We’d have to pay a heavy price in the blood of America’s Best to stay in that dump hole. Not even close to worth it.
Staying there, like staying in Germany and Japan, was a wise decision. We had a base of operation against Islamic terrorism.
Now, Al Qaeda or another terrorist group will reform with the Taliban's protection, launch terrorist attacks against this country or American interests abroad and we'll have to go back and wipe that terrorist group out. We'll lose a lot more lives when that happens than if we had stayed in Afghanistan.
Rinse. Wash. Repeat. It's the same pattern over and over again.
