Anything that gets our troops out is a victory, that you cannot see that is a crying shame.
Not really. You see, Victory to me is achieving the objective. Taking the hill, winning the peace, whatever.
Our goal going in there was to 1) Eliminate Al Qaeda and 2) Remove their Taliban enablers from power.
Now, Bush, Obama and Trump ALL failed to defeat the Taliban, and the corrupt and inept characters they put up lost any chance of uniting the people there. Besides the Taliban, the "legitimate" Afghan Government recently broke up into three factions. Once we are gone, I give it about a year before the Taliban is running the country again. Maybe Al Qaeda will go back, but given they've set up shop in Yemen, Syria, Libya and Iraq, maybe not.
Now, nothing wrong with giving up when there's no fucking point, but no, not going to let Trump spin this as "Winning".
