[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3626499, member: 26737"] It really didn't take much of a crystal ball to see this coming. You can't look at it as a failed nation building venture; that's was strictly Obama's folly. There's far too much tribalism in Afghanistan for them to form a coherent national government. Hell, just listen to the stories of getting Afghan interpreters who couldn't speak the local dialect. The only way you can look at it that makes any sense is to see it for what it was: for twenty years, you took the fight to the enemy and prevented another 9/11 on American soil. I think most Americans would agree that was a worthwhile expenditure of blood and treasure, even if the current administration is completely bungling the exit. To all the servicemen and women who laid it all on the line in Afghanistan, just like your fathers in Vietnam, you did everything your country asked, and more, no matter how badly the politicrits in DC screwed it up. Your country may not realize how grateful it should be, but you should know that some of us are incredibly grateful right now. [/QUOTE]
