Health, I disagree with comparing the Holocaust to the war in Afghanistan. Would you give $80+ billion worth of arms to Jews they wouldn’t run away like the Afghans did. Jews are not on drugs like the Afghans are. Jews are not part of terrorist group like Afghanis are.
Bin Laden had to be taken out and Al Qaeda destroyed to the point that they wculd not practice terrorism globally. And therefore special forces could be deployed, as there were to take out Bin Laden, and air strikes could be used to destroy much of Al Qaeda. I think it was a terrible idea to send ground forces, to attempt to build up an Afghani army and to building up Afghanistan’s infastructure.
