I was born a few months after 9/11, born into the War on Terror. Looking back on it and how it is still going I want to see how everyone on here reflects on it. I know it is easy to simply say it has gone on too long an parts of it was a mistake, but I see it differently. In my opinion, the basic goal of revenge against the people who carried out the attacks has mostly been accomplished with most of them being killed (aside from the Saudis). However, from my perspective things got out of hand with Obama restricting the troops and letting power vacuums Bush created go unfilled by reasonable governments. I support President Trump pulling troops out of most of the Middle East. It seems that most of the conflicts they have been pulled into are unrelated to our goals, however I do feel that in some places small forces should remain to prevent more terrorist groups rising up (ex. Protecting valuable oil fields that could fund terrorists). So what do you think?
