[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 328269, member: 6150"] Although what's going on over there is extremely frustrating and the wrong decision, I feel it's disrespectful to say our vets did it all for nothing. The fight was gonna happen, the Taliban wasn't going to stop after 9/11, and our military kept the fight out of our back yard for 20 years. They deserve affirmation that what they sacrificed was worthwhile. Vets that return from hell holes like that struggle with extreme mental health and PTSD, people hammering this political rhetoric into them that their fight was for nothing right now is not helping struggling vets. Edit: I'm FAR from an expert on this and I'm not the type to drag out an argument on a forum with strangers, but as far as the vets I know and what I've heard over and over from the guys actually doing the dirty work over there, I repeatedly heard that this war was about keeping the fight off our soil, not about "winning".
