Reply to comment by HotpieTargaryen in Russia recruiting U.S.-trained Afghan commandos, vets say by 29PiecesOfSilver

That’s certainly part of it, but I don’t see a way out that was any less messy. It’s either we prolong the occupation with no real end goal or we cut out of there. Unfortunately the real losers in each situation were the people of Afghanistan who’ve now seen 30+ years of war and instability

Nah, but a much slower, controlled drawdown without an artificial and impossible timeline would have been much safer.
