Then, in each case, the politicians put a muzzle on our military and made them occupiers...neither bringing them home nor allowing them to root out and destroy the enemy. We were told that the ISIS "Caliphate" was impossible to defeat, and our political class played footsie with them for years until a new President decided to get serious about shutting down the group...and rolled up/destroyed the Caliphate in a few months. The Taliban only exist because we allow it. They could be eradicated in months if we had the will.

True, in each case, they should have just turned it to glass.
