> He got us out of Afghanistan too

Yeah, it turns out all we needed to do was run away in the middle of the night and let the country slide back into a illiberal theocratic hell hole.

Much better for it to be an illiberal Americo-cratic hellhole.

You do remember what the "Afghan government" partners and soldiers were like right? Mostly child rapists and gang leaders...
