Reply to comment by hecatonchires266 in Kabul’s only library for women closes due to Taliban threats and harassment by SinbadMarinarul

Well, we weren't there for women or to make things equal.

That's not the point I was getting at and you missed it entirely.

I agree that we were there far too long and for the wrong reasons.

Precisely there to get rid of the Taliban and they failed miserably. 20 whole years and still the Taliban exists to make lives worse for the people of Afghanistan. Lives of soldiers lost for nothing.

Yeah, sorry that I wasn't very clear in my original message. I had friends over there, including one that did three tours just being out of the national guard. I hate the whole existence of us being there.

It wasnt for nothing. Some people made a ton of money. Thats what it was about.
