Actually…they have abundance of mineral…even rare earth minerals.
There is gold in them hills.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have done wonders for the Chinese economy. Oil contracts in Iraq, mining rights in Afghanistan.

We should leave and immediately then start a new “Operation Linebacker” destroying every Taliban stronghold, troop concentration, supply depot, routes, and infrastructure on the way out.
Why would we want to throw away more tax dollars and uselessly create more bad memories and enmity?
The Taliban are the patriots of Afghanistan, seeking to preserve their way of life independent of the authoritarian control of a centralized government. They want their freedom and have no city elites telling them how to run their affairs.

Yeah, the Taliban are known for their love of and dedication to freedom. 
We don’t have to steal the minerals. Chinese companies are buying mining contracts in Afghanistan the same way Chinese companies purchased oil contracts in Iraq.
People don’t sell their countries out to other countries for no reason or profit.

Every time the Taliban rises again we should bomb them back into the stone age.
