re: #201 Bagua
We abandoned nothing, Taliban have been killed in great numbers over the years we were in Iraq and rarely came out to fight. It’s mostly bombs and terrorist attacks. As long as they had Pakistan as a base to recruit and train, we were always going to have a steady trickle of new terrorists flowing over the border.
Afghanistan has regressed over the past 5 years.
Women have ha hard time going to school even in the capital now, which wasn’t the case 5 years ago. Women were absolutely abandoned in Afghanistan.
