Well, I voted against Trump so I'm fine with whatever happens.
What I would like to see is for people like the person that started this thread... to actually go over there and serve in an "outside the wire" type career field. I bet he will change his mind after a few tours.
I worried for the Alfgan allied left behind. They will be killed by Taliban. Reminds me of us Hmong. When the US left Laos/Vietnam, many of us were left behind.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hzG4W-l4BA&ab_channel=MSNBC
I love how he mentions read the history book. I know the history. We trained Bin Laden and the Taliban.
Its not the same. We've been there for about 20 years and have trained them since. They now have the training, experience and technology to help their country. Hmong didn't have a country. The people of Afghanistan are more similar to Iraq since we did the same thing with Iraq too. The difference was that Iraq eventually sided more with Iran probably due to more religious influences. The Hmong are more comparable to the Kurds in Iraq. I think as long as the country is less corrupt they will probably be okay. We saw ISIS come out of Iraq because of corruption and religion (Shiite vs Sunni).
He is making a big mistake By withdrawing the troopWe are forever married to afghan Can’t leave the marriage when it get hard
