Do you take note of the terrorist leaders and groups we destroy from time to time? How do you think that happens?
When we killed Osama Ben Ladden, we raided in from Afghanistan.
Here’s a link for you. We lost six U. S. Troops in Afghanistan in 2017. Also mentioned is that we lost nine in 2016.

I don’t buy it for a second. You are very very gullible.
There will always be some new terrorist in Afghanistan. If we are not there, it is not our problem. Osama was no Afghan, anyway, and he was empowered to do the damage he did by the US government which funded and trained him in order to fight the Soviets.
The proper policy is not to let them get near us, not to attempt the outrageously expensive and literally impossible feat of rooting every “terrorist” on the planet out of the rocks and caves in which they live.
