In the wake of 9-11 the US had certain hard reasons to go in and do what it did. It achieved those missions by trial and error and patience, but the problem were the follow-up ideas of nation-building and exporting democracy. Totally stupid idea in that part of the world, it is not civilised Germany or disciplined Japan. That is what broke the operation its neck. Not the original reason - the follow up ideas were the problem.
st 20 years.
Leaving is fine, I am ok with that. But bailing out without the coordination of our allies in the Afghan govt and military? Leaving stockpiles of weapons for the Taliban? Sounds like a Trump move.
