Dec 26, 2018 at 18:49 comment added Italian Philosopher @userLTK Fair enough. $45B/year however, which is a significant chunk of the Pentagon's yearly budget. pbs.org/newshour/politics/… Also, only 2 guys getting killed from 10K+ year makes me think they are mostly staying on base, which makes it unlikely they'll be able to change the country's dynamics very much.
Dec 24, 2018 at 23:58 comment added userLTK "Stop wasting lives" - 2 US soldiers died in Afganistan in 2018 and 0 in Syria. The presence is more of a deterrent than an active war zone. (minor nit pick on one of your pros). Not that 2 lives is nothing, but it's not an active war. statista.com/statistics/262894/…
