.@mehdirhasan: Why should thousands of US troops stay in Afghanistan indefinitely, or even a few more months, to fight an unwinnable war with the Taliban on behalf of people who aren't interested in fighting it? @EliLake: Because a stalemate is preferable to a Taliban takeover.

Give the figures on how many young Afghan men died in the last five years fighting the Taliban! Give us a number! Maybe that will be the sock in your mouth that slows your casual, lazy defamation of those we have abandoned.

This guy is so full of shit. 20 years and trillions and thousands of dead/maimed Americans bought us an Afghanistan that folded politically and militarily in one fucking week. One week Eli. Spare us you bullshit third hand assessments.

Tell Eli to take the place of one American solider and do 20 years in his place. Eli won't do it cause its easy to talk when you're not in the battle field but behind a desk. Eli is Private Eli Bozo chicken hawk.
