It is time to get our soldiers out of Afghanistan. As you know, over 2,000 members of our service have died there and at this point, I no longer see the benefit to continuing the fight. The numerous recent attacks on our soldiers from uniformed members of the Afghan army seem to indicate that we are not wanted there, and that seems fine to me.
I realize that this means the Taliban and perhaps Al-Qaeda will benefit from our absence and regain or re-establish a presence there, but it is time to let the people of Afghanistan take over this fight. I am happy to supply them with the tools to resist, but it is time for the heavy lifting to be done by the people of Afghanistan.
Sincerely yours,
Byron Rice
