We have a family member scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan this year. Given the current state of ROI and other PC requirements..I think it is time that we leave. Let the Taliban have the place. I know a lot of Vets with a lot of seniority and rank who feel the same way. If they won’t allow us to kill then enemy and imprison the captured..then it no longer a military operation. If the State Dept wants to do a country building job with the civilians..let them send the libs to sort the place out, but the military shouldn’t be doing the job.

Have to agree. We also need to quit giving Pakistan money. They are making life harder in Afghanistan for us.
