The following voted for war in Iraq.

Biden, Hillary and Kerry.

Trump called it a big, fat mistake.

Really? Our war against deadly ISIS, a real danger to the U.S. and U.S. citizens is fruitless?

Think again.

I’d rather see all this military effort, every penny of it, devoted to locking down our own borders.

The US hasn’t lost thousands of troops in the last three years.

We haven't lost "thousands" of American lives in Afghanistan since Trump took office - it's been two or three dozen a year, I think. Anytime Trump proposes a cutback (e.g., Syria) , the MSM and the left slam him, and any cutbacks are done over the objections of military officials, leaving Trump vulnerable to second-guessing.

The good news is that - entering the fourth year of his term - Trump has not started any NEW wars or made any significant increases in existing deployments. That's a step in the right direction, despite the negative tone of this article.

Bonnie Kristian is confused.

Bush’s invasion of Afghanistan was going after the perpetrator of 9-11. Bush then went wobbly and the rest was really stupid.

Obama never intended for America to win any war since he hates America.

Trump has essentially taken ISIS out. His efforts are to WIN QUICKLY. His efforts are not “endless”.

Thanks Bonnie, but we’ll continue to do what’s best for America’s and American’s best interests.

One benefit of these little foreign wars is that it provides hands-on training and experience to the military.

Meanwhile, recklessly erratic U.S. meddling in Syria has likely lengthened the Syrian civil war, to say nothing of putting American troops at risk of unwanted conflict with hostile powers operating in close quarters, most notably Russia and Iran.

Trump kicked the hell out of ISIS in record time and has no interest in converting goat herders into democratic countries.

This whole screed is a bunch of criticisms with no solutions. If one bitches, then at least offer some solutions.

From 2017-2019, approximately 1 death per month in Afghanistan and 1 per month in Iraq. (Statista)
A total of 92. Maybe 1 more in Dec.
