How do you keep China, Pakistan and Iran in check ??

Occupy Afghanistan.

If we're not going to prepare to be in this war on terror for the long run, then we should only expect to be in it forever.

It's making some people a lot of money.

Opium dealers are making big bucks over it.

It still has never worked...

Trump: ‘We Will Fight In Afghanistan Until Victorious, Or I Change My Mind, Get Distracted, Look Bad, Or Get Bored’

The Onion
FORT MYER, VA—Calling the war in Afghanistan the nation’s highest priority until he decides at some point that it is actually trade with China or illegal border crossings, President Trump declared in a televised address Monday that the U.S. was committed to fighting insurgents in the region until an unconditional victory was secured, or until he changed his mind, got distracted by something else, thought the war was reflecting poorly on him, or got bored with the whole thing. “Let me be perfectly clear: America will not rest until our enemies have been defeated and the Afghan people are free, unless I start to get frustrated by all this, come across some other thing that seems like a bigger deal, or see a segment on TV that says we should do something else,” said the president, who called for the deployment of thousands more troops to pursue the Taliban until they were completely eradicated or until he lost interest in the situation. “Anyone who stands in the way of freedom shall know that the United States will never surrender and will never back down in the face of evil, except maybe after a couple of months pass and I just don’t want to deal with it any longer or some completely unrelated idea crosses my mind and I start running with that instead. Nothing, aside from maybe a personal feud with a media personality that occupies all my time and energy, will defeat our resolve.” A solemn Trump went on to assure viewers that sending America’s sons and daughters to the front lines of a deadly overseas conflict was the hardest thing a president had to do after having to memorize a lot of things and sometimes sit through hours of briefings without eating.

Trump Vows To Leave A Better Afghanistan For Nation’s Grandchildren To Fight In


ARLINGTON, VA—Saying the United States owed nothing less to future generations, President Trump vowed during a televised speech Monday night to leave a better Afghanistan for the nation’s grandchildren to fight in. “All our efforts are focused on creating and preserving an Afghanistan that we can be proud to pass down to the men and women in uniform who’ve yet to be born,” said Trump, adding that the administration will work tirelessly to ensure that, decades from now, American troops will be fighting in a more sustainable conflict alongside a restored Afghan National Army. “Rest assured that you will be able to look into your children’s eyes and know that their children and their children’s children will be conducting military operations in a country that’s far more stable than it once was.” Trump went on to say that with the right forward-thinking policy, American soldiers could thrive in Afghanistan indefinitely.

Soldier Excited To Take Over Father’s Old Afghanistan Patrol Route

The Onion
FAYETTEVILLE, NC—Saying he “never could have imagined” he would have the opportunity to follow directly in his father’s footsteps, 19-year-old U.S. Army Pvt. Tyler Corcoran was reportedly excited Tuesday to take over his dad’s old patrol route in Afghanistan. “It’s just so incredible that I’ll soon be walking the very same footpath as my old man, securing the perimeter of Camp Chapman in Khost Province just like he did so many years ago,” said Corcoran, who explained how, throughout his childhood, he had heard his father’s stories of guarding the forward operating base but never once considered that he would one day be traversing along the exact walls and securing the identical checkpoints his father had during his tours of duty. “To think that I’ll be monitoring the road between the airstrip and detention facility that Dad always talked about, keeping an eye out for IEDs and any suspicious activity the same way he did all those years ago. Honestly, it’s hard to believe—but, wow, it’s really happening.” At press time, a tear fell from Corcoran’s eye as he hugged his dad goodbye in the very same manner he remembered his father doing to him when he was a toddler.

Pretty simple.

Totally [bleep] over Iran...blow it to hell.

Problem solved, right?

The Onion is awesome and far more trustworthy than the MSM. 😉

Hundreds of billions on that schidthole, and we can't even hire a few thousand more border patrol for our Southern border, or come up with $10 billion for the wall....

LOL...such 911 type planning could be done anywhere terrorists are in the world...it dont require hiding in cave in Afghanistan.
anyways, most of the perps were Saudis and they got their flight training in the USA.

the responce was to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, when its Saudi Arabia and Pakistan that are the core problem behind
such islamic terrorism.....treating mere symptoms is not treating the ongoing underlying cause.

Pakistan seem to get a free pass, and successive US presidents since Sept 11, just keep sucking Saudi ass, Trump no different.
and now a total reverse on his pre election Afghanistan policy.

OK, so you want them to have their own country...great...

So close.. but deserves to be seen.

Hundred Year's War, Thirty Year's war. Anybody remember how lung we fought them the last time? A couple of centuries. That's reality.

I think you're missing the point of the photo and caption.

The point is,..the war in Afghanistan has been going on so long that the children of the first American soldiers to be deployed there are now old enough to be deployed there also.

Yep. And we likely have the great-grandkids of Korean War vets sitting on the 38th parallel over in Korea, too....

But...but...but that has to be a good thing....Bow says perpetual war with a third world chit hole is necessary.
