From John Conlin:

The lesson that America didn't learn after Viet Nam: Once you start a war there are only two ways you can choose to end it: 1) win 2) lose...Or did we indeed learn that lesson and once again, chose option #2?

Why America Can't Win Wars

We Should All be Appalled by What is Happening in Afghanistan

I replied:

We had the childish policy of "winning hearts and minds" rather than winning the war, and that is done by killing the enemy. We want to fight "kinder, gentler" wars. War is by it's very nature harsh business. It is won or lost oftentimes based on who has the will to win.

We go in with the intent of fighting for a few years and then going home. We play nice, treat prisoners decently, and generally act like visiting uncles. But our enemies are very brutal people who will stop at nothing. The general populace in a country like Afghanistan know we will be gone at some point and the thugs will remember who sided with us. So they have to just bide their time.

I would add that I think the way we fought all these years was wrong, but the way we pulled out was shameful. I do not believe Biden or anyone else is that incompetent (I mean, pulling out of Baghram airbase before evacuating everyone else?)

The Biden junta is composed of extreme radicals and they are the ones running the show (well, the Obama people). I think they wanted this. They want the Taliban celebrating on the smoking ruins of our embassy in Kabul, another way to break the American sense of self and American pride. It's a psy-op. Just like the overreaction to Covid (which has imprisoned Americans in their homes and behind their masks and put us at each other's throats) as well as the BLM race rioting and all the rest; these things ultimately are designed to strike at America's core. Once broken we can then be trained in the Great Reset.
