    So the US should stay there forever? Afghanistan should become 51st state?

    Yes if needed, and no.

    Sign up, no. If drafted, yes. But it would take a minimal troop commitment. You should really have an idea of the scale and scope of the technical aspects of this if you're going to comment. Not all wars and occupations are equal or even in the same realm.

    We have an active duty military of over 1 million people. All it took was less than 10,000 troops to prevent this.

    Realistically we could Marshall Plan it and actually build an Afghan state, if we really wanted to.

    If you wouldn’t willingly serve in Afghanistan, then you have no business advocating that America remains there regardless of any number of troop commitment.

    most wars are lost by one side giving up in modern times tho

    you're not getting a classic surrender or decisive battle with the US you win by making them quit

    like giving up is still a loss Saigon fell
