Thats interesting .. dont see many people thinking we should have stayed.
I get the impression those ANA guys we were training for the past 20 years were just Taliban fighters.
Now we get to save our 4.9B in aid annually.
Get to stop training Taliban fighters.
Save tons of money not needing to maintain 5k or so troops plus contractors.
I just feel so bad for the woman and little girls in Kabul and the urban areas.
