The continuing presence of U.S. troops in Afghanistan is a pointless waste of lives, money, and materiel. There is no end to the war there, because it is a jihad, and no chance that Afghanistan will be transformed into a Western-style secular republic. The resistance to the jihad can be more effectively pursued in different ways.
“Afghan official: Taliban kill 5 workers clearing land mines,” Associated Press, May 21, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says the Taliban killed at least five members of a demining team in southern Kandahar province….
Meanwhile, Karim Yuresh, police spokesman in northern Faryab province, says the Taliban attacked a district headquarters on Sunday night, burning down about 50 shops in Khuaja Sabz Posh district. He says reinforcements repelled the attackers. Six insurgents were killed and 10 were wounded.
The Taliban haven’t claimed responsibility for either attack.

Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Wherever there is Mohammadism, there is pain, suffering, death and destruction. Build an unbreachable border between the Dar al Islam and the Dar al Harb and keep Mohammadans out of the Dar al Harb.

Afghanistan: A big hole with no bottom which has sucked American lives and American dollars into it….Time to let them continue killing each other. Collateral damage and rules of engagement have stymied the U.S. from doing what it went there for.
