It’s the same war Jefferson fought, the same war in which my brother served 1990-91, and in which my nephew served twice recently. It’s the same war that Charlemagne fought.

IMO, the right war would eliminate the threat (people responsible) asap. Let the Afghanis figure out the next regime and make clear that their existence is dependent on them not making the same mistakes as the Taliban. Staying for over a decade is a waste.
Don’t you have a military doctrine that says that you need to be able to fight two losing wars simultaneously or something?
Afghanistan never attacked the USA.
Neither did Germany.
Did Korea? Vietnam?
