You went back and added more later. You're always doing that, lol.
I can't share your 'cut your losses' attitude.
1) We are talking about people dying by the hundreds of thousands and I'm not apt to be dismissive of that fact
2) I'm not talking about selling democracy or any of that horseshit and if any entity is is going to be 'selling a Great White Anything" it's apt to be 'feds and private companies' rather than the military
and 3) How can you be sure that we will be cutting any losses by leaving?
