The point should have been obvious. Or are you trying to be difficult? Extremists have the potential (and proven record) to blow people up, stab them, shoot them and prey on others to convert to their filthy cause.

And decent people have the opportunity to build a live for themselves and their family and contribute to society.
The point my friend is thus, we should not hold views that prejudice people from another country or religion due to the actions of a few.
As an intelligent person I'm surprised you needed that explaining to you

Do you think the occupation of Afghanistan has been a success? I hope in some ways it has modernised the country but I wouldn't rush to label it a success. I think - and I could be wrong - that Iraq seems to be working out ok though.

Obviously not, that's why I said when we and the USA went in at first we should have bombed the hell out of the Taliban, but we all know what's happened now, back in the hands of terrorists.

Are all the ex or serving military personnel (both US and U.K.) who are asking the same question either leftist or woke also ?

Unfortunately, with asymmetric warfare (where the insurgents are indistinguishable from the general populace, because they live amongst them), "bombing the hell out of the Taliban’ would have involved bombing the hell out of innocent civilians, which sort of defeats the purpose of being there to protect the general populace from the Taliban.

What do you know that the military experts in the Soviet Union and NATO failed to notice?

Re: US President Joe Biden
BREAKING: U.S President Joe Biden expected to announce a new nuclear defence pact with Australia and the United Kingdom, Australia’s submarine programme to go nuclear, that could put China’s nose out of joint.

Re: US President Joe Biden
Same number of Australian submarines as planned for some time, just nuclear powered, and not built by France. Not that big a thing.
The ones with their "nose out of joint" will be the French, who lose a $90bn contract.

The aim was to remove Isis, not remove the Taliban at least that was my take at the time of 9/11 . So it remains to be seen if it worked. Hate to say this but a lot of people made a lot of money out of it my family included:
