Afghanistan: more troops needed, says U.S. Central Command

[fan_since79]

After 15+ years, we still can't get the Taliban to go away. Now ISIS is moving in as well.

More troops needed. Where have we heard that before?

Only the best can be found in Trumpistan. The craters are the finest in the world. They're yuuuuge.

Just started watching Designated Survivor (2 episodes watched.) I pictured the CJCS in that show requesting troops when I saw this thread. Enough already. We need to get the hell out of there as soon as possible.

How much money and how many lives wasted does it take for these maniac military leaders to get their rocks off?

Well, it is what they do. Things won't change

If we leave Afghanistan the Taliban will take over. IS will have a base of operation and it's 2001 all over again. If that happens we can only hope they decide to head west and pick a fight with the Persians

2001 happened because we were in Saudi Arabia. Let's not forget that.

For fucks sake those mother fuckers will always have a base of command. You can't eradicate evil or idiocy. 

[gotbeer]

maybe we could tell the Taliban and ISIS they can have Afghanistan.  And when they move in, we build a wall around them?  And around Pakistan also.

[arch stanton]

We really need a clear and obtainable end game objective and policies put in place that move toward that objective. It can't change every time something unpleasant happens or a new politician needs to separate himself from the pack. Are we hoping for containment? Eradication? Stable democracies? Stable dictatorships? Maybe just to deflect the anger in another direction for  few decades?

What if we turn the country into a giant brick and mortar retail store which is then inevitably forced to shut it's doors forever?

[Blarg]

Why would you want to Detroit them? 

[Spirit]

Because it's more humane than Chicagoing them?

 

 

 

[gotbeer]

Can't we just leave them alone, hope and pray they will like us, and California them?

We should Hiroshima them.

And Detroit.

They need a high speed rail to nowhere?

Somebody should do a parody song called "Troops" to Salt N Pepa's "Shoop."

Hey, yeah, we need more troops, baby

I'm too lazy to go any further with it.
