For every person who cheered when we invaded and then wanted us to pull out because after 20 years of inattention we couldn't figure out a way to defeat the Taliban, these folks paid the price for your willy-nilly not-a-plan.

The US has a problem with its foreign policy - it often conflicts with the use of force over time - making it impossible to plan a war with winnable objectives and or an exit strategy.
