    They are saying it could take days to get people out of there and the Taliban are willing to wait and not threaten departures of diplomats and others. Smart on their part.

    ***Frustration speaking. Obviously I don't want DC to be nuked. Regardless of how well it might cleanse the place of worthless politicians.

    We need to get our people out and bomb ALL equipment we left before they start moving it. Destroy it all.

    How many more trillions and lives would be spent by staying there? And for what purpose? What do we gain by staying there

    You got to know hen to cut your losses. Unfortunately we should have done that many years ago after killing bin laden.

    We still have a base in Germany and in Japan since WWII. Those countries continue to flourish now, who is to say that maintaining 2500 and a base in Afghanistan could not be the same? Would it have taken 40 years like it did for the Berlin wall to fall? Maybe, maybe longer but now we will never know.

    There are many thousands that have suffered during this war and they will always remember the atrocities of war. Every single soul there will remember being abandoned and the horror that will follow. I feel like everything I fought for is now for nothing, and I cant imagine what the average person trapped in that country will feel for decades to come.

    Serious question, was the Taliban (or any derivatives) ever a threat to anyone before the West got involved in that area? Did they even exist at a significant scale?

    I can't speak for Taliban only but many other tribes did not like soviet.
    I am sure we can find many links when Soviet occupy the Afrighanistan, or we can just watch some clips of Rambo III.

    We use to say Dumb commie Soviets are so weak that they could not take care of Afrighanistan for 10 years.
