There are many things wrong here...

Never understood why we were there in the first place. Nothing good has ever come from fighting in that country.

I feel that the Democrats pushed Afghanistan because they needed a foil to Iraq for political reasond. They didn't want to back the Iraq war because it was started by Bush, but didn't want to be seen as wimps. So Afghanistan became their choice and Obama has doubled down on the bet.

Hopefully we'll just get out all together and stay the hell out of Syria.

It has been said throughout history that "Afghanistan is where Empires go to die"...American politician's arrogance never allows them to review history though

Obama's Vietnam.

Lots of missteps by the Obummer admin.

Keep your idiotic Bush comments to yourselves. It's been three frigging years now.

I am still waiting to find out about all those Navy Seals killed on Obummers watch.

Are military officers worth more than other people?
Who gets to decide what value people have?

Why is a US soldier worth more than an Afghani person?
