"...fucked again"

We fought in Afghanistan for 20 years against Terror. We are finally getting out. Today I read in the Naval Proceedings that they expect Kabul it's capital could fall six months after we leave. This after supplying training the Afghan army for ten of those 20 years. We left Vietnam after 15 years of war, Our then client the South Vietnamese government fell less that a year after we left. 

There's also a general expectation of mass killings of Afghan officials their families, and those opposed to the Taliban. Intelligence agencies are urging the president to evacuate these now while it's still possible. So far no response.

The next time a bunch of deranged fanatics act up, and start killing everyone in sight for the fun of it,...we need to stay home. I mean even the Romans let the locals slaughter all they liked as long as they paid taxes to Caesar. 

I think we're doing this Empire thing wrong.
