3/ And the Taliban has been gaining territory steadily over the last decade, even when we had 10,000+ troops. It turns out building an American-style military in a country w/o a sense of nationalism is impossible. We had a plan that only worked on paper. https://t.co/pYPirsliJx — PolitiTweet.org

2/ It's hard to watch Afghan cities fall to the Taliban, after all the American lives lost there. But if the Afghan military is folding this meekly, after 20 years of training and trillions of dollars of investment, another 20 years of U.S. occupation wasn't going to fix that. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ Our presence was also a deadly feedback loop. Taliban and extremist recruiters fed off our occupation. For instance, strong evidence suggests our drone strikes created more Taliban fighters than they killed. https://t.co/DPsxidjQHB — PolitiTweet.org
