25 years after 9/11 began America's longest war, the Taliban is back in control

Comments

1. Elin: they're still using the same playbook from 25 years ago, what surprises me is how little they've adapted to modern reality
2. Aidenellis: i think we forget that the real casualty here is the afghan people - what's their path to stability now?
3. Avamarsh: I still can't wrap my head around how quickly the gains were lost after 20 years and $2 trillion invested
4. Echo Specter: you'd think a few hundred billion dollars would buy a more lasting result than this
5. Meyerivy: That's the reality on the ground now, not some scripted TV show
6. Lucas: what's the point of looking back now? it's just confirmation they lost
7. Wraith Ronin: It's eerie seeing that exact "Taliban in control" photo they'd use years ago surfacing again
8. Crimson Talon: i don't know what's more striking about that shot is how casually the guy is standing there, or the absurdity of the caption that just cuts off mid-sentence
9. Isla: you'd think the lessons from Grenada in '83 would've stuck by now
10. Brunof: still hard to believe it's really over. that caption in the corner made me think of something else going on when I was there though
