Democrats: Must we adopt the policies of Bush era Republicans, just to be opposite of Trump? Why the excuses for continuing the Afghanistan?

War?

I’ve been hearing for the past 14 years from Democrats that “we must leave responsibly” What does that mean to you? Does responsibly to Democrats mean indefinite stay? 

To me Responsibly is recognizing that we lost this war long ago, that the Taliban have never attacked US soil and are only our enemy because we are in Afghanistan. Responsibly is recognizing that the government we set up and still continue to support and fund has been rated the most corrupt government in the world for the last 10 years and who’s officials smuggle Herrion into our country.

Update:

For the record, I am a liberal. Do not come at me with a lame attack accusing me of being a trumpeter. I’m also an OIF veterans who’s deployed to that country twice, so if you want to talk to me about conditions in the ground, know what you’re talking about because I will call you out if you don’t 

Update 2:

Yourmedia: ok you dumb mothaf@@er, you don’t get that I’m making an argument on this war that is inline with your guy Trump...So maybe, just maybe you should shut up with the attacks of “get a clue” 

Update 3:

? Guy: If engaging in warfare with a sovereign nation who’s never attacked us or our allies is “throwing our allies under the bus” then we need new allies. Syria is not the topic here by the way. And that is a lame regurgitated party line talking point that shows you haven’t put any thought into this, your just repeating a line 

Update 4:

Anonymous: so what would you call? A win? How much territory has the Taliban taken back? Is that a win to you.....Or maybe you have point as we don’t really have a clear objective but we’re still there. That a long protracted war which is a losing war by any definition

    Well Joshua I have to apologize to you for not getting us out of there sooner. I really wanted is to leave but since they won't let me do it I'm sorry. If I had my way we would have never been there in the first place.

    I guess you didn't notice that when Trump pulled out of Syria he threw our allies there under the bus.

    The US needs to leave, but you can not argue that the US lost the war.

    You need to adopt the policies of Trump before you run us into the ditch. Trump wanted to pull out of the Middle East Wars. Get a freaking clue.

    *I'm sorry you don't understand what I wrote. While your media was lying about Trump he was actually doing the things that help the country. The only reason you don't know that is because you allow your media to lie to you and lead you around with propaganda.
