You realize that we had to keep soldiers and all of the logistical and air support assets on hand.
What benefit will the freedom of these people that mostly don't want it badly (or their 300k fully equipped soldiers would fight well) have for us in the future? Most likely we will have a global conflict with CCP, Russia, NK, Iran in about 5-10 years time. I highly doubt the Taliban will influence the outcome of that.
- onepointsixC 5y agoLast year we had just under 3,000 troops, which was all that was needed. Those 3,000 troops were not going to make a difference in fighting the CCP, Russia, NK, Iran. But a complete and total abandonment and defacto surrender to the Taliban will embolden America's enemies.
