The United States and coalition forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the September 11 terror attacks. After the attacks, U.S. intelligence officials determined that the Afghani-based militant organization Al-Qaeda was responsible. In 2001 90% of Afghanistan was controlled by the Sunni Islamic military organization The Taliban. After the Taliban refused requests by U.S. President George W. Bush to dismantle Al-Qaeda the U.S. launched military operations known as Operation Enduring Freedom. As of June 27, 2019 2,419 U.S. troops have died in the conflict.

Yes, however, Biden's botched withdrawal is the best example of how NOT to do it.
@8X95KPY3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should have been done in a better manner that did not result in leaving equipment in the rush to leave
@8R399VF4yrs4Y
I believe that we should limit our involvement in wars that we don't have any part in, for there are many complications on either side. We could be harming innocents and worsening violence based on issues we only have a shallow understanding on, such as conflicts based on communism and oil. However, I do think that we should come together and prevent situations and protect people where injustice and crimes against human rights are being violated.
@8VN2B9G3yrs3Y
Yes, but with careful strategic plans to extract all who are Americans or Allies.
@8VNLLX43yrs3Y
yes but do it the right way and not rush it or do it all at once
@8XH56DM3yrs3Y
Yes but it needs an actual plan to get out without hurting allies and people that relied on us during that time
@8XDFFD83yrs3Y
Yes, well we pulled the majority of troops out. But we should have had a better exit strategy.
@8WCNTTB3yrs3Y
Yes, it’s not our problem anymore. If we were to stay, we mind as well make it a US territory. By now it is clear that the Afghan Gov was never going to survive without the US. We should continue counter-terrorism initiatives, but not from the country itself.
