    Guerrilla warfare (especially fighting it from the air) will ALWAYS harm civilians. It's part of the way ISIS or previously the Viet Cong protected themselves with human shields.

    So the choices are:

    -You can have a hundred thousand US troops on the ground going door to door for years and years
    -You can have targeted drone strikes, CIA orchestrated assignation attempts, and some special ops in and out operations
    or
    -You can do nothing to fight ISIS or Al Qaeda.

    I want to hear Trumpers actually pick a lane and own up to it because this whole criticize whatever you feel like criticizing and claiming the Democrats have lost America because of Afghanistan blah blah blah crap is getting old. What F do you people want other than to be viewed as massive hypocrites who aren't serious about a damn thing??

    For those criticizing the pull-out, do you think we should stay and for how long? What would be considered a success after the trillions of dollars and thousands of lives?

    BTW, we went in there to get Osama.

    Obama should've pulled out. Like around the time we bagged Osama...in Pakistan (Americans DGAF where...).

    It was unlikely because he didn't want to appear weaker than he already did internationally and tbh I doubt he had a global vision other than mending fences and pretending everyone else pulled their weight.

    To be clear, it's because Americans DGAF that it took 20 years to realize Afghanistan was FUBAR.

    Remember that time a couple of years ago when people from the right were calling the establishment neo-liberal politicians from Biden to Hillary as warhawks?

    Miss those times. Thought the right would suddenly turn a page and become anti-interventionist.

    This marine does not want a stinking dime from our corrupt government, even though the money comes from the American taxpayers. He is a hero in my eyes, more should rise up and give the middle finger to the senile buffoon in charge.

    We will support our blood and treasure so they do not have to die in vain because of incompetence from the top.

    Hmmm, makes you wonder which was the vid actually doctored? The one with him sleeping, or the one showing him not sleeping? It's not far fetched considering his extreme cognitive limitations, and the fact that the WH probably unleashed its media goblins to find a way to make it "fake." Like DD said earlier, we all have to think for ourselves.

    It's like with DJT was sipping from his water glass slowly and everybody was reporting it was effects from a stroke, same when he was taking baby steps down that ramp. The fact he didn't have a stroke didn't matter, to most it was official, DJT had a stroke. Was it fake when Biden found a way to fall UP a flight of stairs? Who knows.

    Btw, I like you too.
