Obama wasn't going to do that, I strongly believe that one of the reasons obama kept us in Afghanistan was so patriots in the military could be killed before they came back home to help us fight either obama or then next (D) president. Sounds far-fetched doesn't it, well if you stop to think about the vitriol and hatred the (D) have shown towards our veterans, troops in service, and regular citizens who oppose the (D) agenda it ought to be obvious.Quote:

What national resources does Afghanistan hold that either we want or we're trying to prevent other nations from finding and using? Afghanistan also provides us a foothold on the eastern side of Iran. Combine that with our bases in Saudi Arabia and Qatar and we have a strong presence but our presence alone isn't keeping the mullahs in Iran from raising hell all over the middle east.
President Trump promised during his campaign that he would get us out of Afghanistan, I was very disappointed when PDT announced that we would stay on. I'm not privy to insider information so perhaps there is a very good reason to stay on.
Now that I've gotten us way off topic I'll bring us back.
Are the Syrian Kurd's worth additional blood and treasure from the United States? I can't think of any other reason to remain in Syria.
