As Biden plans an Afghanistan exit, some hawks say we must stay to improve women's lives. “It's an argument with which I'm deeply sympathetic,” @EmmaMAshford says, but it's “not the reason the U.S. went into Afghanistan. It’s not even the reason we stayed there for 20 years.”

Nation building has never been a strong suit of the USA. Ilhan do you want our troops to stay?
You are a disgrace to this country And should be removed from Office. Awesome you say get rid of the police. But you still got your security don’t you? That WE tax payers pay for??? Your a hypocrite. Let’s here you say your giving up your security detail.
Whether or not it was a described as a motivation for intervening does not change whether or not it is a good reason for staying.
Have we been championing and helping women all this time we’ve been there? Have I missed something? No I haven’t.

It is said this Elderly man who’s being brutally punished, Refused the Marriage proposal to a Talib Commander to his daughter in Herat. Is the world blind?!
We need term limits for Congress
Let me remind you that for the reason US went to Afghanistan is still unresolved. The Taliban are still powerful as before and currently have very close ties with Al-Qaeda. Then, what the hell USA did in Afghanistan during 20 years?
