About Afghanistan.
There is method to the madness of staying in Afghanistan. The US deep state doesn't want to actually "win" the war, which would be a reason to leave and "save money,", since continued US military presence there is essential in terms of geopolitics and geostrategy, which is focused on US hegemony. Afghanistan is a key piece in controlling Central Asia and the Eurasian landmass. This is a part of a proxy war with Russia and China.

That’s the “beauty” of declaring war on a tactic (terrorism). It never has to end.
Occupying Afghanistan is status symbol of the golden era of your empire.
There's also the little matter of managing the opium/heroin trade. CIA needs an off-the-books slush fund to run their games without too much oversight.
