[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4965518, member: 58386"] The Afghan government never controlled more than 65% of the country and had been losing ground over the past 4-5 years. The Taliban fought for religious beliefs while the Afghan police and military fought for money. The Afghan War was simply another religious war and civilizations have spent the past 8000 years destroying each other over the question of who's god is the true god and who loves him more. So what American would want his kid to get drafted into the military to go fight another religious war? When you look around at the situation in Korea, Ukraine, Iran, South China Sea, Haiti, clearly the movement was to conserve and consolidate American military assets in preparation for what might happen next in those regions. Given what could happen in those regions , after 20 years Afghanistan just as was the case with Viet Nam it just wasn't worth fighting over any more. [/QUOTE]
