I do not agree with everything that is in this article and I think a lot of information about the enemy is left out.
One will notice the abuse of young boys in the article. That is part of Islamic culture. Mohammad said it was OK to have a male lover until that boy was 14yrs old. After that, it is a crime punished by death. Also, Muhammad allows a peace deal for the Ummah when they are not winning for 7yrs. This allows the followers of Su'en to grow in power to continue the fight.
Afghanistan is a classic example of the enemy controlling the narrative. We kill them and win in the field no problem. But their Mosques and Madrassas churn out more and more.
I think American should leave. But America leaving will give the warriors for Muhammad a victory.
I would like to read what the Senior Enlisted think about this situation and what they think America should do about the enemy in Afghanistan.
