The man is becoming more and more based. At least on the Afghan war issue. Sure the execution of the drawdown and eventual evacuation leaves a lot to be desired.
But he’s right. We don’t belong there. And the way the Afghan military collapsed Almost without a fight....well if they can’t fight for their own country...why should another generation of American soldiers?
why should another generation of American soldiers?
Maybe to prevent another Al Qaeda from forming there. I note that we have had no further 9/11 style attacks on American soil during the whole time American soldiers have been in Afghanistan. Better to fight them over there than fight them over here.

Better to fight them over there than over here? Is this Former President Bush posting here?
Let me ask you something...how come countries like America, Britain, Germany, France, Sweden etc. Have had an explosion in terror attacks and overall social malaise vis a vis The Muslim world?
And countries like Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia etc. don’t. The latter countries are all in NATO and the EU. They all participated in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. So why don’t they have terror attacks like we’re so vulnerable to have?
Because it boils down to one thing; Demographics. The latter countries don’t allow Muslims into their countries. And we along with every other exceedingly liberal western nation let them in by the boatloads...Or in this current case...by the plane load.
It’s real simple, no Islam adherents within your borders...no Islamic terrorism.
"Sure the execution of the drawdown and eventual evacuation leaves a lot to be desired."
That's a massive understatement. It's a complete disaster reeking of a lack of contingency planning. Plus, there's nothing novel about Biden pushing for withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump was trying to do the same thing and in fact set it in motion. He would've finished it a couple years ago were it not for two-faced Democrats and war profiteering Republicans on the house Foreign Affairs Committee colluding to make it impossible.
