I just wish we would have left sooner. The bombing started tailing off at the end of Obama and then Trump ramped it back up, dropping over 14,000 bombs between 2018 and 2019.
I genuinely think the adaptation should have been to just pack up and leave much earlier.
Everyone applauded Trump when he signed the withdrawal, sure we criticized him for the part of the deal that turned Afghanistan over to the Taliban, but we were leaving and it was his promise. Trump supporters have taken his best and most bipartisan approved policy and snatched the policy win from him.
It's why over 90% of Americans STILL approve of the withdrawal. Media wants us back at war, but they are desperate for ratings and that is all they care about.
We were there long enough. Politics aside leaving now, or a month from now, or a year from now wasn't going to matter.
