Why are we there and letting this happen?

Okay, stupid question, but why are we in Afghanistan?
.
This is Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl Bergdahl from Idaho, and he is being held captive by the Taliban. So we should tell the Taliban to get out of a certain area and nuke it. Tell them to let him go or we will continue to nuke areas.
.
Look, we are destroying their country little by little anyway - for no reason. We told the Taliban they could stay in power if they kicked out Al Qaeda. They didn't so we drove the Taliban out of power and Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan.
.
So why are we still there?
.
Granted, we are doing good in setting up schools and trying to put in democracy, but is that our job? Is it worth our lives? It is worth putting Pfc. Bergdahl through this? And I say this knowing that, in the past, they have NEVER LET ANYONE GO. They put a video out of his neck being cut. So nuke 'em.
.
Nuke and get the F out. We didn't care what Afghanistan did until Al Qaeda and we shouldn't now. Tell the Afghans that if Terror Camps open, we will (small scale of course) nuke them as we find them. Maybe we give you warning, maybe we don't, but we are done screwing around.
.
Let's go build schools and roads and water systems where people don't freaking hate us. There are plenty of really poor areas in Bangladesh, Laos, Bolivia, Botswana, Liberia where they would love to have US people bringing in schools and roads. So why the hell are we getting stuck in the sink hole of Afghanistan. We accomplished what we said we were going to. Declare victory and leave.
