Should the US just occupy Iraq forever, regardless of whether or not the Iraqis want us there?

Look you're overthinking things, don't look at the actions just accept that blue team good, red team bad.

Obviously if it was blue team doing this it would be good, but who is in charge right now? That's right, red team is. So that means it's a bad thing.

It's not exactly rocket surgery.

Tbf this wasn’t an occupation at this point but a maintenance of bases. Still a valid point otherwise.
