- pepperoni_pizza 3mo agoWhy do you think they left, then?
- s1artibartfast 3mo agoBecause it was expensive and the local population did not care for the Kabul government we were protecting. It is hard to prop an unpopular government in a country of 40 million. The US military was averaging only 12 deaths in the years before withdraw. Most of what the taliban was doing is closer to asymmetric warfare than terrorism.
