“when ONLY 1 SIDE quits/gives up/surrenders.”

When one side surrenders in a war, isn’t that exactly how a war normally ends?

The only next step is for Biden to agree to a humiliating peace treaty with the Taliban.

No...the side that didn’t surrender has to stop fighting. That is not the case here.....

I expect to be hit here in the homeland within a year. I hope I’m wrong.

True, but only if that surrender is accepted and peace breaks out.

There is no way those ISIS guys are going to go back to just herding goats. And there are plenty of Taliban guys who want revenge for 20 years of infidel occupation.

If I had to guess, I’d guess we’re in only the third inning of this baseball game (so to speak).

The concept of surrender in War requires warring parties to adhere to some common civilizational norms. I don’t see any of that here.
