Victory?

Mike at Cold fury has some thoughts about our leaving Afghanistan:

We probably ought to consider not fighting any more wars for any reason, unless and until we decide that “victory” will no longer mean “overextending our stay so as to be able to present barbarian savages a pre-cooked democracy that they are neither capable nor inclined to appreciate on a silver platter, and hoping to civilize a country that isn’t remotely civilized and only barely qualifies as a country.”

Get home safe, boys, each and every one of you. The fault for the debacle was in no way yours, and not one more of you should have to die for such hopeless folly.
