#1 Apparently it didn't take President Trump long to flush these evil bastids out.

#3 But, how are you to supply US forces in Afghanistan, if you can't do it through Pakistan?

#4 Withdraw from Afghanistan completely. Forget about trying to set up a democracy there, as long as it's mostly muslims, true democracy will never happen. Just heavily spray roundup on all the fields where poppies are grown and bomb the shit out of the Taliban every times they try to come back, until they're reduced to the point the Afghani army can handle them on their own. If the people cannot or will not have the desire to deal with their own interior issues, why should we?

We've spend so much money there, a lot of, if not most of, which got siphoned off to pockets everywhere except where it's supposed to go. (Last I've heard we've spend over one hundred billon dollars on Afghanistan, why? What did we get for a hundred billion dollars, we sure could use that money here at home.)

I get the feeling we didn't win anything but they did in the long run.

Time we start using that money to pay down the federal deficit and start working toward a zero balanced budget.

All those countries who voted against us can just start paying for their own defenses.

We have plenty of problems and issues of our own here at home that need to be addressed and dealt with using the money we're currently pissing away on other countries issues and wars, to no benefits whatsoever to us (excepts for a few companies for their profits.)

Sure we can lend a helping hand, but with the understanding they make a go of it on their own.

American first, we will help, but there are limits!
