I don't think we should have been there 20 Years, it didn't take a fraction of that time to realize what the outcome would be. That said, the Tribal nature of the Country means it could never be an actual Nation anyway, too fractured one Tribe to another... no one Hill to want to Die on for a Nation that doesn't extend beyond your Tribe. Plus, the corruption of the Govt. there was rampant and the Ground Soldiers were not supported at all once the Americans bailed. So, they were abandoned by both their own Country and ours and they knew it, better to cut and run for most of them and go into hiding or they'd be horribly dealt with by Taliban. As for the Exit strategy... I doubt we could have successfully snuck out sixty thousand Allies and Americans under the Taliban's noses, just sayin', tho' the execution was so Poor and the collapse of the Afghan Military so rapid, that Chaos was bound to ensue... I think even worse than Saigon 1975 IMO. Now... will any Ally EVER Trust us and Believe we'll keep our Word if Partnering with them in Battle again? I doubt it... I won't even comment on Health Care, we've got the worst Health Care System of any First World Country... and Big Pharma and those who hold Stock in them and in Health Care don't want it any other way because they profit off the suffering and inflated costs of everything.Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-43755656351167466882021-08-17T12:57:37.827-04:002021-08-17T12:57:37.827-04:00The funny thing is that it wasn't so long ago ...The funny thing is that it wasn't so long ago that HE was the energetic puppy bothering all the other senior dogs.
