Is the potential reward worth the continued sacrifice of American lives, and investment of U.S. taxpayer dollars?

What reward could ever justify the deaths of your countrymen and women?
Not even a trillion dollars worth of lithium multiplied by the billions made from the drugs that go towards your black budgets.

No one has been able to take Afghanistan, what makes you think Pakistan (barely look after themselves and practically Afghanistan Taliban) India can’t turn its back on China, China’s focus is the South China Sea, Russia couldnt and wouldn’t fo again, nothing would happen if the US pulled out, practically pointless being there, all the land has been lost back to the Taliban.

What did Democrats think would happen aligning with the establishment?
These f-ing morons actions are going to have some serious repercussions. Perhaps this time they will realize that the Democrats in power don't give a rats ass about me just as much as they don't care about them.
At least Trump was somewhat containable. He was working for the people who put him there. Where as Biden probably wasn't even legitimately elected by the people of this country. He has no desire to work for us...
If you think Biden cares about you or I then I have a bridge and land in Florida to sell you.

Aren't there only just a few thousand left in Afghanistan anyway? The number of US troops over there has reduced to a very small number anyway. Many troops have either been reorganized into different locations (such as Africa for example).

President Trump implemented a significant draw down of U.S. Troops stationed in Afghanistan. However, it seems the happiness and elation displayed by the returning service members, and the families who greeted them, did not extend up to military brass, and military contractors.
Newly elected President Biden just indicated he's going to keep U.S. Troops in the country, and likely add more, because the Pentagon says 20 years was not long enough to get its mission accomplished.

Amid a surge in high-profile assassinations and violent attacks, the Biden administration is indicating it will keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan past a May withdrawal deadline laid out in the U.S. deal with the Taliban.
President Joe Biden has talked about keeping U.S. forces for counter terrorism or to defend the U.S.-backed Afghan government against a rise in Taliban attacks, but it's unclear under what conditions, to what end, and for how long after America's nearly 20 years of war in that country.
Following sharp draw-downs by former President Trump, U.S. troops are at their lowest level in Afghanistan, which the Pentagon says in a new report, has imposed "limitations" on completing its mission.
What was the U.S./Pentagon's "mission" in Afghanistan?
If it could not be completed after 20 years, at the cost of thousands of U.S. lives, why pick this moment to reverse course and re-engage in the Afghan war?
