Right.
Here's all of Afghanistan overwhelmed and the Afghan "army" dissolved entirely, and now Kabul totally taken over and our guys crowded into the military section of an airport of only one commercial runway anyway, and we have about 1/3 that space, according to the maps. The Taliban took all the leftover materiel from the Afghan "army." How can we possibly come back from that?
I can't understand how people can say we should somehow go back in. Go back in to WHERE? Go back in to WHAT? This is one of the more conclusive losses I've heard of, since Hannibal defeated Rome at Cannae, or the Germans killed about the same number as Hannibal did, 57,000, on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. People, you can't lose a war this definitively and then just --- start it up again.
