HONOR THE AFGHAN FALLEN BY GETTING OUT OF AFGHANISTAN

HONORING THE AFGHAN FALLEN

By: Derek Varsalona

Three years ago this week, American soldiers were attacked on a base in Kabul, Afghanistan.  The best way to honor those victims is to gradually leave Afghanistan.  America has been struggling to build a nation for too long.  Let us face it if Afghanistan's do not want Democracy it can not be forced on them.  Americans have been practicing intervention as an American policy for far too long, with little success.  I support a gradual withdrawal from the region.

It was great that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris honored the fallen.  But the best way to honor the fallen is for the soldiers to come home now from these never-ending wars.  Americans have completed their mission in Afghanistan.  That mission is to kill Osama Bin Laden, mission accomplished.  

Sadly, the Taliban has taken over Afghanistan.  But the fact of the matter is that us fighting these never-ending wars is just going to lead to more terrorist attacks on American interests due to our imperialism which is not working out.  If you want to honor the troops bring most of the troops home from Afghanistan with minimal support to protect our US Embassy in Kabul and interest in Afghanistan. As always comments accepted.
