So basically this war is officially lost. Taliban and U.S. Agree to Peace Talks

Its just reality, it's not like you can pretend that the Taliban don't exist. We've tried to negoiate with them for years to some affect, its smart not stupid.

Too bad this was false as Taliban has tried for years to negotiate with U.S., U.S. keeps saying "We don't negotiate with those who help Al-Q". Sadly they only negoiate with those who help Al-Q who have money ( Saudi Arabia).

war begets violence. peace begets peace.

That's exactly what I'm saying. They're both lazy, but the Iraqis had better discipline and don't like to get high as much.

ill take you word for it but at the end of the day the afghan army can suk and still accomplish the overall strategic goal

A collective from every Afghan because we all understand all too clearly what happened

This war was kept extended for over a decade just for certain individuals to make a killing off it

There was no logic to this from an Afghan or American national interest perspective

Kept the Taliban out for 12 yrs, hunting the down just to sit Down with them.

Laughable if not disgusting

breh i read a article how the us may trade 3 taliban prisoners for a us soldier

like wtf

taliban won, no country has ever been to beat afghanistan

"And the generals. Oh, they’d love the war, too. It’s hard to be a military hero without a war. Heroes need battles and bombs and bullets in order to be heroic. That’s why I am suspicious of the military. They’re always so narrow in their appraisal of everything. They see everything in military terms."
