Afghanistan

[WeezyBengal]

I had a friend who's first response to this was: "Two trillion dollars well spent."

I'm sorry, but it was well spent to protect innocent woman and children from these bastards. Seeing stories about how these children are being taken from their homes as sex trophies or sex slaves is heart breaking. If that costs me an extra 2$ a month on my tax bill then damnit so be it.

"We aren't world police." Really? We all live in the same damn world. Just because we are divided by the an abstract line in the sand that someone decided to call a "country" doesn't matter to me. We are all people who don't deserve to be hurt by evil assholes. Did we sit on the sidelines while the Nazis took over? Well, we tried too...but how would the world look if we never got in the fight? Same situation here. I stand AGAINST genocide whether its in my country or not.

I read somewhere that there hasn't been a US related death in Afghanistan since 2020. The reason to get out is PURELY financial. I'm independent when it comes to politics (lean slightly right) and I voted for Biden, but man...what are you doing?
