Absolutely not. Once the US hightails it from terrorists killing US troops in Afghanistan you think they're going to call it square and leave us alone? They are going to be emboldened and start planning the next terror attack on US soil.
This idea has always been completely absurd. "If we leave a small occupying force in the middle east, all of the terrorists will be completely distracted and forget the US homeland exists." Total fear-mongering nonsense.
Dropping bombs and killing civilians and creating constant instability is a surefire way to cause more terrorism and America hatred. The constant occupation, which has weakened our military and our financial stability at home, is the real danger to the American people.
And of course, you continue to lie about the options available to Biden. The conflict was inevitably and obviously going to escalate significantly if the US didn't stick to the pullout timeline that Trump agreed to with the Taliban. The choice was not "leave a small occupying force or bail entirely", the choice was "do another giant troop surge or bail entirely"
