    A successful withdrawal from Afghanistan now would be positive news for the president, of course, but also be welcomed both by America’s military and citizens. Peace usually is.

    America gives high-flying, government-bashing executives free speech, hero status and a lot of legal leeway. Elsewhere, they are likely unsafe at any speed.

    That revolution has now eaten its children and delivered a matrimonial couple who dispense corporal punishment to critics and competitors. How did Ortega’s Sandinista government devolve this badly?

    "Our troops are dying for a lost cause. We've got to get out of Afghanistan." - 

    “NATO and the U.S. Defense Department continually affirm their commitment to the Afghan mission, known as ‘Resolute Support’. In reality, however, America’s military is going to be sticking it out just long enough to call it a win, hand it over and get out.” from “Our troops are dying for a lost cause. We’ve got to get out of Afghanistan.” by Markos Kounalakis.
