Just about all of the greatest military leaders in the history of the US believed that wars were evil but sometimes a necessary evil.

There is a big difference between being anti-war and anti-nation building. Many here still can't grasp that concept.

Conservatives were in the past very against nation building I am against nation building myself. We are broke and have enough of our own problems to think about and there is always the fact that obama is not giving our troops all they need so more will die I would assume and obama is not worth dying for.

We should do whatever it takes to eradicate the enemy in Afghanistan as soon as possible and then leave. Or just leave if the current “strategy” will remain standing around waiting to get shot.

Trying to nation build in that hellhole is a fruitless endeavor that leeches money and American lives.

It’s disgraceful that the Taliban stills exists despite 8 years of engagement. It should have been over in a matter of weeks. Frag the bad guys, don’t stand around propping up Hamid Karzai.
