They want us out, and there's no reason we should have been there in the first place. Just flipping leave already.

A few decades ago we were arming and training them against the Soviets.

They were quite happy to receive aid from infidels to fight other infidels. We handled that rather poorly; there were other groups, who weren't radical Muslims, fighting the Soviets as well, but we routed our aid through Pakistan, which was only interested in helping the radicals.
It's beyond time to leave, dude.

I served too. I was in Diego Garcia while we were bombing the Taliban. Those bastards literally got a bomb with my name on it dropped on their head. All we have done by splitting in the middle of the night is create a huge sucking sound welcoming the Taliban to terrorize the people of that country...

It was about OBL AND those who supported and enabled him - the Taliban. Once we defeated the Taliban and ceded control to the Afghan government, our job was to help protect the people of Afghanistan from the Taliban's resurgence. We did that for 10 years. We quit that mission and now are seeing the fallacy of quitting - the same as quitting Vietnam. All we did by withdrawing is create thousands more dependent refugees for Europe and the US. We failed the people of Afghanistan by being quitters.
