War--What Is It Good for?

As a former private solder in the American army, I supported Joe Biden's failed attempt to convince President Obama not to surge more troops into Afghanistan. Now Biden has pulled our military out of Afghanistan, bringing them home. I doubt if Biden is the answer to global warming, and I voted for him reluctantly, but ending a war is not a small thing.

No one has hired and trained Americans to act as the world's police force. We are not entitled to enter other countries. Our leaders don't know how to remake other cultures.  

Our political leaders don't understand non-European cultures. But we should be able to grasp this much. People everywhere want to work out their futures for themselves.
