@Jake966 i do. Pretty high ranking too. And he says the same thing. This war was a pointless waste of life.
Korea, vietnam, and now Afghanistan. When will we learn to mind our own damn business?

@SW-User no point in debating this with someone who was a toddler when this started

@Jake966 the internet is a thing now dude. I am well versed in the history of this dumb war.
After 9/11 Afghanistan sheltered the Taliban, who claimed responsibility for the strikes. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan in order to bring osama bin laden to justice and to destroy the taliban so as to "liberate" Afghanistan.
The main motivation for bin laden attacking the US was because we helped to create the state of Israel which displaced thousands of Palestinian muslims; kicking them out of their homes and treating them like criminals for fighting back.
So basically, this whole mess in the middle east started when we stuck or noses where it didn't belong.
We should stop doing that. We have no right especially since our shit doesn't exactly smell like roses.

@SW-User we went to Saudi Arabia and pushed back Saddam back to Iraq and out of Kuwait where his soldiers were killing innocent children and raping women and killing males . Bin Ladan got mad that Americans were treading on Muslim ground and devised the plan which played out on 9-11

@Jake966 yeah that was on his list too; had like five or six different items on it.
But yeah the point still stands. The USA is not the world police and our own national morality could use a lot of work; we need to focus on ourselves. America first right?
