I get it. We cannot monitor and keep peace in the entire world, but vacating Afghanistan is detrimental to our country's security. We not only need our troops there, we need to consistently monitor the entire region to keep tabs on Al-Qaeda and other terrorist activity. Get a grip! Don't let US guard (and citizens) down! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

Sounds wonderful! Let us operate in region, leading to unnecessary hostility. You might want to look at the injustice happening in the US -- somehow those threats are not a problem to the national security, even though it happens all the time. But this is a national security problem.
