Get out of Afghanistan

This country can't afford sending more men and women to die and to
militarily occupy any parts of this country. How much more blood
and money will be wasted there defending what against what?

We can't afford these wars and occupation. Obama can let this
ride through his presidency or he can do the right thing and
just say no more.

Afghani and Iraqi women frankly haven't been any better off under our occupation
and we shouldn't be hiding behind their burkas as an excuse.

While we're throwing huge amounts of money supposedly supplying
jobs, infrastructure and healthcare over there, the same needs go
underfunded here.

For a pragmatic president, Obama needs to look at this situation
with fresh eyes and intelligence and declare that we just can't afford to be
the world's military, occupier and nations builder. We can't afford
to keep putting money into our military complex either.
