Why West Lost Afghan War

[JasonC]

LOL.

Military spending isn't bankrupting anyone. One we aren't bankrupt, and two we spend $2 trillion a year on middle class entitlements nobody needs - because politicians toss money on bonfires for fun, pretty much, and can't think of anything better to do.

Afghanistan isn't any threat to us because it is currently a US ally with a friendly if rather puppet-esque government. And keeping it that way is something we can do in our sleep. Meanwhile the folks taking random potshots at us for oh the last 30 years are available for target practice there -as well as a number of other places.

You can declare peace as many times as you like and have all the parades you can stand, and random nutjobs will still take potshots at us whenever they feel like it, which is often. And we will shoot back. Way of the world, live with it.
