2. I don't think they needed to. The government they left lasted two or three years

The one that we worked 20 years on lasted 2 weeks?

I wonder why the Soviet Union's Afghan government lasted longer?

So, no.

8. It's not just magats

We’ve had a couple of people here today very upset and sad about leaving our “afghan friends” behind. I mean they can’t articulate exactly who they mean, or if those people actually wanted to come to the US, but hey, it makes for good internet fodder…I guess.
