The real question is will the Taliban stage the takeover of Kabul for the 20th anniversary of 9/11. My bet is yes so I think we will be evacuated by then leaving behind billions worth of military equipment. The Obama/Biden admin “war of necessity” comes to a close. That sandbox was never the key to anything but old Joe couldn’t get a status of forces agreemebt out of an Iraqi government that represented nobody and could have been disposed of in two minutes.
US middle east policy has been a complete disaster from the get go. Never has so much military force been applied to so little effect. The problem is not the army but the politicians and diplomats.
