A “light footprint” in a country run by the Taliban? Is he f***ing kidding? Troops would be unable to defend themselves and be at the mercy of the Taliban.

What does his magical thinking think that would look like? Like the troops in Germany, a country run by Angela Merkel?

These dopes don’t deserve to serve in public office. Sasse is an idiot with a nice smile.
