In their defense, there have been more murders in Detroit in the last 10 years than US soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Not many cities can match that. Chicago maybe, but they've got 3x the population.

Not in your defense, the death toll in Afghanistan is at least 10 times that, when you count all the brown people who died as a result of the longest war in American history -- and one of the stupidest.

Agreed, and I'll never understand why Obama doubled down and sent more troops for such a pointless waste of human life.

Very easy. In 2008, he needed some national Defense cred, so he and his crowd pushed the meme that Iraq was the "wrong war" [[i.e. Bush's War) while Afganaistan was the "right war on terror" which had been neglected by Bush [[i.e. fought at a low level). The Obamessiah bought Afghanistan with his own big mouth.
