Our whole fight was in vain. It was from day one. This headline would have happened regardless of how long we stayed - today, tomorrow, or ten years from now.

Afghanistan is a vast place, and conquering it would be like conquering a herd of cats. It had no neat, universally acknowledged emperor figure like Japan did.
Rooskies tried. Rooskies failed.
Walling Afghanistan off might have worked better than trying to play whack-a-mole in it.

I don't believe that.
We could make Afghanistan a modern, peaceful Republic.
But to do so we'd have to rape, murder and torture everyone in our way.
