We were told that the ISIS "Caliphate" was impossible to defeat, and our political class played footsie with them for years until a new President decided to get serious about shutting down the group...and rolled up/destroyed the Caliphate in a few months. The Taliban only exist because we allow it. They could be eradicated in months if we had the will.
