We will never leave that country.
What's the grey area is who decides the definition of victory here?
I think victory is us leaving and giving full lifetime support to all families of killed or gravely wounded veterans of that conflict.
Did we not learn from Vietnam? Have we so quickly forgotten that strife?
Russia finally did.We will never leave that country.

Come to think of it they probably pissed themselves with laughter when we went in there.
I'd be on the first plane back over there.!I'd still like to go back! I hate terrorists!
There's no reason for us to be there. There's no reason for us to be involved in any foreign war. The founding fathers knew what they were talking about when they told us specifically not to do that.
Our military spending has been a hole we dump truckloads of money into since WW2.
I've been watching Vietnam in HD recently, and see a lot of the same mistakes made there, being made here.
One cannot defeat an enemy that hides within the populace, especially when the people we're supposed to be helping doesn't want to defeat their enemy on their own. I don't see anyway to effectively destroy this enemy but by making ourselves the enemy of many other states by wholesale liquidation of life in that region.
This evil ideology/religion we are at war with, will not be defeated by anything less than a greater application of evil, however, most people are not ok with doing what would be necessary to defeat this adversary.
I can only think of one war of insurgency that was defeated successfully by the US, and that is of the wars against the native Americans.
I need to see if I can find it. I posted it awhile back but don't remember the title. One of my fathers Air America buddies who was one of the last to leave Saigon wrote a very detailed piece about the similarities awhile back.
My father was one of the last to return.
Air America, military or embassy? Wait, is your dad the POW?

Edit: I was talking about one of the last pilots to leave Saigon after evacuating everyone they could. Having the navy shove their helicopters off of the carriers into the ocean instead of refueling them because they were told to stand down.
POW yes. He was imprisoned for 1160 days.
