Nah...we were told it was impossible to defeat the Taliban in 2001...it took two months to topple the regime when our troops were turned loose. The same happened in Iraq. It took a few months in the Gulf War in 1991 and then again in 2003. Then, in each case, the politicians put a muzzle on our military and made them occupiers...neither bringing them home nor allowing them to root out and destroy the enemy. 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.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
