[QUOTE="El Correcto, post: 5184164, member: 60631"] At least with us it was mostly combatants dying and mostly terrorist combatants. Very few US troop deaths intervening in Afghanistan keeping a us backed government alive and it from turning into a terrorist hellhole ran by jihadis and doing business with China. We really discussing $400 billion? It’s very disingenuous to add up the total cost of fighting a war and rebuilding a nation over the span of twenty years and act like it is still costing us 400 billion a year averaged out (I guess?). The more heavy lifting that had already been done the cheaper it gets to secure as time goes on. That’s all thrown away now thanks to idiots that buy into the “ENDLESS WARRRRER” hysteria that has gripped this nation. You don’t, you vote to surrender. What a wonderful moral choice. My heart really does break for those people’s hopelessness now that western powers are not there to intervene. Not just for them but for all the young growing democracy at risk. Yes.
