Never been one to quit a battle, but it’s time to leave Afghanistan. What have we accomplished in the dozen or so years we’ve been there? We won a world war in five years besting the Germans and Japanese. We can’t win a war with a low rated third world cesspool?

Apples and oranges. First, we were fighting for our very survival in WWII. The stakes were much higher. Second, WWII was a conventional war fought with clearly distinct sides that wore uniforms. In Afghanistan, we are fighting a guerrilla war or siding with one side in a civil war.
