    I am not arguing with the obvious corruption, but to provide a counterpoint to the second part of the argument: if we aren’t allowed to make peace with former terrorists, then we can never stop fighting each other, and if we keep fighting each other, then we will keep creating the next generation of terrorists.

      Its the same neocons who wanted Biden to stay in Afghanistan. Anyone who thinks neocons have a popular base is a gigantic moron. The amount of neocon voters is roughly equivalent to Americans with a transatlantic accent.
