[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4383515, member: 48469"] Glad this didn't happen during a Democratic administration. Likely would have been used as a club to question the Party's strength and patriotism for a long time. Especially as Afghanistan is re-taken by the Taliban in the coming years. But I am glad we're getting out. Couldn't win either way.
