> For precedent, the US has a variety of bases across the world in Europe and Asia and many of those bases are not political nightmares. I think it is difficult to compare Germany and Afghanistan. I am French and if we had a US base here people would not be happy but it ultimately would have been a topic during elections. The soldiers wood blend in and the cultural difference between the US and Germany << US - Afghanistan. South Corea is an exotic country for us, but this is many food, entertainment, on the surface at least. I do not think that US soldiers wood blend in, or at least naturally incorporate into Afghanistan, there are too many differences. Just compare how and where the youth spend their time. In France, Germany, SK out Japan this wood be tiktok, listening to pretty much the same music (we had the kpop wave here...). In Afghanistan this is probably vastly different
