I understand the desire to get out of Afghanistan. We have been there for 20 years, and it is obvious that a stable government allied with us would never be able to defeat the Taliban without our backup. That government was always going to collapse once American forces left, and Afghanistan would once again become a base for jihadists. It remains to be seen what this will mean for our security.
