Despite the fiasco afghanistan my position is keep versatile a low foot print so to speak , forces may change instantly that has to provide CENTCOM all the authority they need as long as they listen to their commander in chief at all times.

 Afghanistan is a grave lesson provided to the civilian authority of this country devaluing or sending to scrap over 20 years of hard try to keep this djinn at bay or simply send them to hell and plz do i have to apologize(?) should their ass requires it.

Should afghanistan withdrawal be proper perhaps ukraine would not be in this limbo right now , perhaps PRC would be not more assertive , even though thanks to ukrainian bravery and our allies in Europe This Eurasian imperialism is paying a dear price yet we may not smile about 1 million people dead in eastern europe and that clearly implies how the...graveyard of empires is interlinked more than ever in this surreal geopolitics.

It may not be the fall of the american empire , but may be the russian or the han one...

I was in favor of a withdrawal from Afghanistan but in honors and never meant full withdrawal.
Mr. Graham has full justification about Bagram Base.
