I just saw an interview with a US soldier where he explains that the US military is the only buffer between the people that want them there to help the country and the people who want to inflict chaos. The soldier then said that they can't leave, because if they do that buffer will be gone and there will be a mass slaughter inside the country.
I think he is right. Sure, it was probably wrong to invade in the first place - but we can't go back and change that now. The US cannot simply withdraw their troops and leave the country in ruins, it is their responsibility now to clean things up the best they can.
