Historically, a bunch of really important (to the war/counter terrorism efforts; you can say the war effort was not important and that's a fair argument but Bagram was at least helpful in the war). For starters, the raid to kill Bin Laden originated in Bagram [1]. If quick response times were needed based on intel with limited usefulness (the location of a specific terrorist leader) or the Afghani military needs air support, then Bagram couldve helped cut down response times in those important circumstances. The distances from the nearest carrier locations are real in terms of response time. I'm just guessing here and I'm no expert but it just seems like maintaining the base would cost not much when compared to its usefulness in even just counter terror operations (not in the broad sense where innocents are hurt but like actual raids on specific leaders, baghdadi, bin laden, etc [though i dont think the baghdadi raid originated from bagram]) [1]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Osama_bin_Laden#Operation_Neptune_Spear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Osama_bin_Laden#Ope...
