My worthless opinion shared against my better judgement.
I supported going into Afghanistan not Iraq. We stayed to long. Glad we're finally getting out.
It was silly of anyone to think we could actually change that region or the people in it. Russia could'nt do it when they turned lose the dogs of war how the hell did we think we could with our modern day sensitivities? Honestly I would much preferred that we would have gone in there and leveled anyone that stood in our way, did what we could to degrade AQ's ability to operate and then left being preparred to go back if the Afghan people continued to let terrorists train in their territory. Of course everyday Americans don't want to see that on TV and more importantly it doesn't generate enough money.
Blame for the entire debacle lays at all 4 Presidents feet. In my opinion the first 3 didn't have the stones to buck the Military Industrial Complex and take the heat for the mess we're seeing now. I don't know why Biden actually did it and I'm suspicious about what comes next but I'm glad we're out. Those making political hey out of this make me want to puke.
The cynic in me won't let me leave without saying the exit was always going to be a cluster but I believe it's been made worse on purpose by those that didn't want to leave. Just follow the money. Most of what was spent over there has come back here.
I thank all those that serve or have served this country. I only wish the American people could find a way to elect leaders worthy of your service.
