I don’t agree. This is just playing the same stupid games the democrats played with Trump. Let’s get away from stupid.

I actually agree with you, though the article made some other good points which I think we've already hit on here.

And why we will continue to fail because we try to "copy and paste" how we train and fight onto a people and culture who are not like us at all. The Afghan SpecOps  soldiers will be able to protect them and theirs, but the regular army? Not so much.

Nation building can't happen with a nation that is unable or unwilling to rebuild.

Someone, I don't remember who, on CNN last night said it best.  You cannot build a democracy from the top down.  It has to start with the people wanting a revolution and, unfortunately, they aren't willing to fight for that.
