This war should have been exited oh, say, back in 2001?
What blows my mind is that I saw last week that after the "drawdown" we're still leaving like 9,000 Americans there to "train Afghani security forces."
*Double-facepalm* Yeah, that's been money well-spent, hasn't it?
The real scandal here isn't over some soldier and five Taliban guys, it's WTF are we even still doing there? Why has Obama left us in there year after year? What is the net benefit to Americans of us having been there for years--we already know the cost.
Yet the real scandals never go anywhere so instead we can waste our time on shite like this.
