Im not sure what to think about this,
I hate war, so if our soldiers are coming home,,great. But part of me senses a "reassignment of resources" in a way.

The New York Times reports that Trump’s State Department is negotiating directly with the Taliban, with no involvement by Afghanistan’s government. Negotiations with the group, which is waging a civil war against the government that the United States has supported since the fall of the regime, reportedly took place in Qatar last week...... https://www.rawstory.com/2018/07/trump-tells-american-military-surrender-large-swaths-afghanistan-us-negotiates-directly-taliban-report/

4. WTH?!?
2,372 Americans killed trying to take back from the Taliban what they took from Afghanistan - the people largely responsible for 9/11. Isn't this called surrender?
