Someone else mentioned it, but when Trump said he was bringing back the troops, I supported it. We would be over there for eternity if we don’t bring them back. You simply can’t defeat an ideology like this.
Bush bombed the shit out of them.
Obama bombed the shit out of them.
Trump bombed the shit out of them.
Biden, I’m sure has dropped some bombs as well.
Not a single administration made things better over there. We have been wasting money and lives in that country. Pull them out. I would’ve applauded Trump on pulling them out and I’ll applaud Biden for doing it.
It really irks me when I hear people say this. You absolutely CAN defeat an ideology like this, you just have to be willing to do it and not ***** foot around fighting a clean war. Pre war Japan was about as fanatical an ideology as they came, believing their emperor was a living God. They were all about fighting to the death and surrender was shameful, until we lowered the hammer on them. Their "ideology" came around very quickly. Now they're normal people. Of course, to do this you have to fight a war and not have battlefields run by lawyers in DC. There's a reason we haven't won a war since WWII, and we will probably lose to China in the near future.
