About 71,000 dead civilians who might disagree with this take.

The 2nd amendment extremists are responsible for about 13,000 gun related homicides a year on average. I very much doubt they care about a single afghani death.

Eh? My point wasn’t about American perceptions of Afghan deaths. My point was that there were a huge number of dead afghan civilians who might quibble with the notion that 20 years of occupation were a “net benefit”.

The relative freedom of women during the last 20 years compared to prior Taliban rule shouldn’t be ignored though.

I don’t know how to weigh up the cost of lives vs freedom.
