Time for US to officially 'lose' Afghan war

News that Delegator-In-Chief Trump has abdicated his Constitutional control over military troop deployments should concern every American. Trump looked at our failed 16 year Afghan war and basically turned over responsibility for the failure to Defense Secretary James 'Mad Dog' Mattis. As early as next week Mattis will increase US canon fodder there by nearly 50% to 12,500, to counter Taliban territory gains. My reaction to Taliban success? So What? It's impacts US national security interests not a whit. The only reason for the new canon fodder there is to pretend we haven't lost...something we did on October 7, 2001, when we started bombing the designated scapegoat for Bush administration failures that led up to 911, likely funded and encouraged by our best Middle East buddy Saudi Arabia. In the 16 years since, 2,703 coalition troops died for nothing except the fiction the war was necessary and winnable, neither of which is remotely true. And speaking of scapegoats, Mad Dog will morph into one when his latest troop surge fails faster than you can say 'You're fired.' Trump pulled the scapegoat trick on his generals when his insane Yemen raid, a week into his collapsing presidency, got a lot of innocent Yemeni civilians and a Navy Seal killed. Officially 'losing' a war would be bad for the war party...good for everyone else.
