Let Afghanistan be Afghanistan and the sooner we are out the sooner that can happen. There is no nation building in that shite hole, ever!

Use the money saved for Veterans healthcare and support and to build the wall.

The left's talking point will be that we are abandoning women. In short, they will say that if we leave, then the Taliban will force women back into subservience. Of course, according to the Democrats, it will be Trump's fault.

Trump can do no right according to them.

It is crazy.

Flynn said the higher ups in the pentagon, White House and Congress were lying about the war in Afghanistan.

That's one reason why they went all in on framing him and putting him through Mueller's ringer.

Anyone have a link to D politicians sky screaming when he first started making noise about this? I want to see if any of them were on the Intelligence Committee.

Bring them all home.
Redeploy to start inspecting 2-3x incoming containters at Ports and secure boarder. Let the worlds problem be their problem. We got enough to address here at home.

Why were they still there? It's been more than 18 years since the beginning of that campaign, and what do we have to show for it?

why can't we pull them all out?

last I checked we spend 48 BILLION per year, for the last 19 years in Afghanistan...


in one year, we could build 2 border walls 2000 miles long with that kind of money (48B)

And yet for all that spending, we don't even have a specifically defined mission.

Sure we could, with no problem. But how does that address the humanitarian crisis at the US-Mexico border? Children are dying in ICE custody. Toddlers who should be in the hospital getting treatment for pneumonia and diarrheal diseases are in police custody!

Death numbers in ICE custody or at hospitals once released for treatment have steadily declined since 2003. There was a slight increase in 2014-2017. It looks like approximately 3 deaths per 100,000 detainees.
