And Iraq will be Vietnam, part III.
There are those who will blame Obama for all that. But Obama is in the Nixon/Ford role here. Vietnam is on LBJ. Afghanistan is on Bush.
For a long time, I have pondered exactly what our exit from Afghanistan will look like. In Iraq, divisions just simply drove out. But in Afghanistan, our troops would have to go through a treacherous route through some Stanistan garbage states, or a massive airlift would be needed.
It goes without saying that most of the equipment will be left behind (I hope we are smart enough to destroy it and don’t give it to some mujahedeen)...and very similar to the marines on the roof in Viet Nam, things could get very dicey for the last Americans there.
Should have just let the Russkies have the God-forsaken place.
The US does not win wars anymore.
