Worthy sacrifice. I will remember them.

2019-12-19 06:08:14 UTC  

Never forget

2019-12-19 06:08:37 UTC  

Al queda is in talks with us constantly rn

2019-12-19 06:08:41 UTC  

As of July 7, 2018, there have been 2,372 U.S. military deaths in the War in Afghanistan.

2019-12-19 06:08:54 UTC  

Again worthy sacrifices

2019-12-19 06:09:01 UTC  

Count the deaths from al queda

2019-12-19 06:09:08 UTC  

To be fair, it's worth reading up on the terrorism of the Islamic caliphate and the consequences wrought upon innocent nations. It's relatively easy to critique the US government on it's involvement in Afghanistan, but more noble to recognize the humanitarian causes advanced by our actions.

2019-12-19 06:09:34 UTC  

Its not worthy if it cause more radicalization

2019-12-19 06:09:39 UTC  

It wont

2019-12-19 06:09:50 UTC  

It does

2019-12-19 06:09:58 UTC  

ISIS just uses it for propagada even if its not true

2019-12-19 06:10:00 UTC  

It doesnt

2019-12-19 06:10:14 UTC  

Or else 9/11 wouldnt have happened

2019-12-19 06:10:16 UTC  

That's the catch 22. We've desperately tried to enact a self-sufficient government. The challenge is that their culture almost exclusively promotes dictatorship as the rule of law.

2019-12-19 06:10:59 UTC  

The greatest thing in afgahastan is that we are talking with al-queda

2019-12-19 06:11:10 UTC  

instead of killing the whole population

2019-12-19 06:11:13 UTC  

@Mersenne Of course I agree that the Islamic caliphate is a cancer on the planet and is killing many people. But they've mostly grown as a result of our presence

2019-12-19 06:11:16 UTC  

of afganahistan

2019-12-19 06:11:49 UTC  

Besides we need to be in war ready conidtion

2019-12-19 06:12:00 UTC  

This is useful experience

2019-12-19 06:12:18 UTC  

We send billions in foreign aid to Saudi Arabia who fund terrorist groups

2019-12-19 06:12:27 UTC  

They've definitely used US presence to sympathize with Islamic extremists, but this goes back to the pernicious nature of their culture and religion. Ignoring the geo-political aspects, it's worth handing this clusterfuck over the UN or more localized nations while preserving pockets of troops to monitor for Islamic militant activity.

2019-12-19 06:12:41 UTC  

And then we go over to fight them its a giant shit show

2019-12-19 06:12:57 UTC  

This is why i hate libertarians

2019-12-19 06:13:02 UTC  

Hippies

2019-12-19 06:13:08 UTC  

I would argue we've advanced to the point of where monitoring and drone strikes would be perfectly effective.

2019-12-19 06:13:13 UTC  

That cannot see the way of geopolitik

2019-12-19 06:13:32 UTC  

Well, libertarians only care about personal freedoms period

2019-12-19 06:13:41 UTC  

That's why they tend to be insufferable

2019-12-19 06:13:49 UTC  

Yeah

2019-12-19 06:14:01 UTC  

Do you disagree that we send billions in foreign aid to Saudi Arabia who fund terrorist groups

2019-12-19 06:14:06 UTC  

Nope

2019-12-19 06:14:12 UTC  

At least Dems have perceived values of care and fairness, with Republicans advocating for authority and tradition

2019-12-19 06:14:17 UTC  

and dont really care in exchange for oil

2019-12-19 06:14:29 UTC  

Huh

2019-12-19 06:14:32 UTC  

a few terrorists for an nation of oil

2019-12-19 06:14:37 UTC  

It's true that the Saudi's absolutely fund terrorist organizations.

2019-12-19 06:14:47 UTC  

Yep

2019-12-19 06:14:55 UTC  

However we need to become self-sufficient for crude production before you can expect ties to be severed completely.

2019-12-19 06:15:00 UTC  

Exactly

2019-12-19 06:15:07 UTC  

You're advocating for funding a war to fight the terrirists while we fund the terrorists. Do you realize how stupid that is
