The Military Industrial Complex wanted to keep our presence there for money, because they would have gotten out by now if they didn’t accomplish much with the Afghans securing their country.

“ Vietnam…..Afghanistan, rinse and repeat! Sad but true.”
****************************************************************
TOTALLY different. The South Vietnamese fought for over two years after we pulled out the last of our forces. The DemocRATS in Congress starved the South Vietnamese of resources leaving them substantially depleted of ammunition, fuel, replacement parts (anyone in the military will tell you of their importance).

The Afghans were left with plenty of resources both civilian and military and a steady flow of finances. The Afghans are largely simply refusing to fight. WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW A SINGLE AFGHAN (other than the interpreters who fought with us) “refugee” in. They will merely merge with the Muslim fifth columnists already in our midst.
