We can't just let Afghanistan backslide. It's irresponsible
I'm opposed to a perpetual occupation, but ultimately we should at least reach a peacable settlement with the Taliban, or at least co-opt the Taliban by getting the support of the tribal leaders who support them (but aren't necessarily ideologically committed to them)
The tribal leaders are quite stubborn, but at the end of the day they could easily be bought off or won over, similar to how we tamed Anbar Province in Iraq. The ideological extremists can at least be isolated, even if they can't be weeded out, and then you could at least have government.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
