Afghanistan is the bigger problem (to Syria) where costs are approaching $1 trillion, 17 years war, 2400 dead servicemen and 15,000 wounded.
Afghanistan feeds the Opoid epidemic in America, as the CIA/Pentagon protect and harvest the Opium, and then ship it out using USAF cargo planes to the USA directly, or via Pakistan by ship to Mexico so that it can be trafficked THROUGH THE POROUS BORDER to sell, market and KILL/MURDER MILLIONS OF WORKING CLASS AMERICANS.
It is a business that retails at anything between $50-100 billion annually for the Deep State, and is obviously off the books. A fraction of this illegal profit can be used to pay for the WALL.
That is why the DEEP STATE, and THE complicit DNC ARE SO SAVAGELY AGAINST THE WALL.
They love their human trafficking, sex slave trade and importing criminal gangs of the worst sort in addition. The real bosses of such neferous activities are the USA DEEP STATE.
The USA OCCUPATION OF AFGHANISTAN IS INTER-LINKED WITH THE CRIMINALITY OF THE MEXICAN/AMERICAN BORDER.
Pull all the troops out, pull out all the private contractors and the raison detre of the Deep State to oppose the Wall SIGNIFICANTLY CEASES.
American occupation of Afghanistan and an endless campaign there is linked to the Mexican/American border issue.
14,000---20,000 American troops
20,000---30,000 Private contractors, closely allied to the DEEP STATE OF THE DEEP STATE.

After Syria Trump Could Be Withdrawing From Afghanistan as Well
No wonder Mattis is resigning! Do it Donald, the people will love you for it!

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, hard on the heels of yesterday's announced draw-down in Syria.
Washington was already in a tizzy about the abrupt manner of the Syria announcement, and seems to be greeting these early reports of Afghanistan in the same way. But ending these two drawn-out, expensive wars is the right thing to do.
Tapper's report appears to have been confirmed by The Wall Street Journal, which says the administration is thinking about a "substantial reduction of troops in Afghanistan." The reduction "could begin in several weeks," the Journalreports, citing administration officials.
Reason's Christian Britschgi pointed out last month that the U.S. has spent $900 billion on the war in Afghanistan since it began in 2001. Despite 2,400 American lives lost, the U.S. has failed to build a stable, democratic government in the country.
