First Vietnam, now Afghanistan. The wealthiest nation with the most powerful military was bested twice by a passionate local force that played the long-game. Iraq is not exactly going well either.
I'm glad that America can return to its isolationist roots and stop policing the world. Export culture, not troops. You simply can't force a country to act the way you want using a military invasion.
If Afghani women want freedoms, I'm glad they are fighting for it themselves. It makes it significantly more authentic (perhaps the only way it can be treated authentically) and will give the Taliban far more pause than the US forcing them to respect women at gunpoint.
