In the coming days we will be flying the last of the Americans from Afghanistan, reminiscent Saigon circa 1975 style. The Taliban will again be in charge.
What did we get for our twenty year mission? How many lives were lost and destroyed? How much treasure did we take from the wallets of taxpayers, current and future? What did we accomplish? Much like our nearly two decade involvement in SE Asia, it seems all for naught.
I suppose we can take solace in the idea that unlike the British we didn’t spend a century plus trying to tame that region.
