How about we don't try to nation-build anymore? We had no business being there in the first place - back in the 1980s when Reagan and the CIA were supporting Bin Laden and the Mujahadeen. They set up the conditions for Al Qaeda and the Taliban to be created. This was just a game of hot potato. Whoever was POTUS when we pulled out would be blamed.
What an incredible waste of American soldier's lives, time, and money. 20 years and $2 trillion dollars and we are back where we started. Only now the Taliban have American MRAPs and M4 rifles and modern tech.
