The Afghans had their chance to stand up and fight. We would have supported them even if they were still struggling against the Taliban. I mean look at Ukraine. They have been holding out for a year against Russia. We would have given the same amount of military support to the Afghans if only they were willing to stand up to the Taliban. Instead they collapsed WHILE we were leaving. After 20 years enough is enough. We cannot fight for them. At some point their country is their responsibility. If they're unable to form a government capable of feeding their own people, it's on them.
