“There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.”There is only one thing that stops “endless war”, and that is victory.
“In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.”
— The Art Of War, II:6 and II:19
Victory in Afghanistan would involve wiping out most of the population.
I’m OK with that, but the American public is not.
We need to leave, never should have gone in.
Nobody has ever tamed Afghanistan and no one ever will.
