        I mean we could’ve learned from the countless examples in history that this wasn’t going to work out, but hey American exceptionalism, right?

        I haven't noticed much of anything exceptional coming out of that region that the troops are now free to scrape off of their boots.

        No one has ever occupied Afghanistan beyond a certain time limit. It was 20 yrs in case of America!

        this isn't just about imposing military might. this is cultural. You go in anywhere and do not understand the roots of the culture in the region you will not accomplish much.

        Remember that #Afganistan is sitting on $2-$3 trillion of rare earth elements.
