Win/Lose..

 

Once again, we are seeing. Americans being airlifted to safety amidst chaos and defeat, abandoning many of those who helped us. 

There will be much political posturing about who is to blame. 

The question no one is discussing is why for decades successive administrations of both parties continue to involve us in wars that not only we don’t win, but that for years we keep on fighting even when we know we can’t win and our objectives in those wars are confusing and malleable. 

If you look back over the history of our war in Afghanistan, it was clear as early as 2002 that we didn’t fully understand what we were doing there anymore or how to go about doing it.

 Yet we remained for nearly 20 more bloody years. 

Do we know what are we fighting for? Just a thought.
