He (Trump) undermined the Afghan government by forcing them to release 5,000 members of the Taliban.

There was a pay-off for the man somewhere.

Trump's behavior is driven by an unholy mixture of attention and money.

The art of the deal on display. Our side must have gotten a really, really, really great deal in return for the release of 5,000 terrorist killers. Anyone recall what came our way?

If I recall, the 5,000 prisoners released got the Taliban to start negotiating a "Peace Deal".

Horrible people those cave dwellers in Afghanistan that are now the government. Terrorizing the country at will from their hidden cave hideouts and just like that(Orange Quisling grifting American traitor lets them out) they take control of the country they were terrorizing. Hmmm, reminds me of another group holding their people to the blade/gun/bomb. You know those Hamass terrorists pretending to give two bits about those they hold hostage both Moslem and Jewish. The Pentagon may wish to take note and instead of investing in expensive airplanes, ships and tanks they should just hold up in the nearest cave when under attack and wait out the storm and then take over a la Taliban/Hamass/Al Qaeda/ISIS.

The legend of our military might is based on the dropping of two nukes... 80 years ago... Since then a lot of other countries got nukes to wave around as a show of superiority.

Remember when we initially invaded Afghanistan and Iraq with a complete array of our superior equipment that ultimately couldn't withstand IEDs?
You know... the weapons they pieced together out of this and that... they were sending our troops back home missing pieces of their bodies and ringing ears. Meanwhile... our troops were digging through junk yards finding scraps to weld onto their vehicles because what we were using wasn't up to snuff against their "improvised weapons".

Frankly... what they are doing is what we would do to win if the tables were turned... stubbornly keep fighting a myriad of little battles... until it gets too expensive for the invading forces to keep up the fight.

It's fascinating that the whole "Shock and Awe" thingie to "win the hearts and minds"... only managed to pi$$ them off and fight rather than capitulate. Why fault them for their patriotism?

The US can't win a ground war on foreign soil. Never has... never will.
