That is a tired reason. I bought it in 2002. Not so much anymore.
We are there to keep the Chinese out. Just like Africa.
They dont hate us because we are free, they hate us because we are there trying to tell them how to live their lives.
I dont care about them. If the attack us again, level them. They cannot attack us if they are dead.

Why cant we just burn the poppy fields?Because then the farmers don't have any way of making money except to go on the Taliban payroll.

"Over a trillion dollars wasted."
Yeah, inflation is something else.
"Over 2300 US casualties KIA to date."
Far fewer than the civilian casualties we'd have seen on U.S. soil without a military solution overseas. And far fewer than we'd have seen, if we'd have gone with high intensity conflict as an initial solution.
"Nation building? Pfft."
Well, it's their choice. Either build a nice, denazified nation, or do bad things and get reduced.
"...and when we do finally disengage from that Islamic tribal sh*thole, it will revert back to the same tribal sh*thole its been since Alexander the Great showed up."
Better that than another enemy with nukes.
"Not ONE of those crazy islamists are worth a single American life or dollar."
It's for us. We only offer better countries and a better way of life. They join in with great motivation or get reduced by their own radicalism.

If the voters in our nation had a will fight, it would have been satisfactorily done for our national security a long time ago. Instead, it’s the lawyers, the import moguls and the left against our defense, until the fight for survival comes to us. Then, we start another late buildup and take the consequences.

Time to get out. They like their third world savagery, and we are just keeping them from it.
