AAQ
” Indefinite war or end the war and let the Taliban take over… More reasonable choice was between (1) leaving while minimizing losses and (2) staying in small remote numbers supporting gov troops from the air. ”
Not sure why you rephrased my two choices.
choice 2: “staying in small numbers” until when? either indefinite (my first choice) , or until yo u chaneg your mind to Leave and let the taliban take over (my second choice)
choice 1 “leaving while minimizing losses” is what they attempted/did
Again you can disagree with the choice made and many reasonable people do.
Btu those are the only 2 choices. your rephrasing them doesn’t change it
