I think we’re about 8 years overdue to get out of Afghanistan, but I can agree with much of that.
We should have left immediately after the punitive expedition phase, and before the meals on wheels phase. Said “Do it again and we’ll screw you up worse, we’re outta here” and decamped.

I like the Arc Light idea. Better still, NAPALM. Flambe’ the bastards, houses, camels, and supporters.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning. I wish I had said that but I didn’t see any used in VN. Only a couple 250 lbers and 105’s.
Actually, I agree with you. We probably should have declared victory and then left with just the capability to intervene if and when we had to in 2002. Leave the Afghans and Pakistanis to fight it out and figure it out for themselves.

I wonder if newsrooms have human proofreaders any more? Literate ones, I mean.
These folks are arm chair generals the same ilk that sent thousands to southeast Asia to die in a senseless war that we had no business being in. Notice here that it is the CIA drones that are causing the problems when did they get the power to make war? And we wonder why the world hates our government!
also people forget that Psakistan is a ‘they’ not an ‘it’.
some are with us, some against us, and some are just riding the tiger hoping to survive.
True that! Actually, this long ago became a cross-border war between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Pashtuns.
