That's why the US had 35,000 troops in Germany at the beginning of the year and more were sent this year. Germany surrendered in 1945, but the war isn't over. 75 years and the US military is still there. Europe has rebuilt, stands and challenges the US economically, but one thing they have is their way of life without need of security. US military protects their hinds. Watch their programs crumble if they had to finance their own defense. 75 years. Isnt that war over? Will the nasties come out and take over Germany? Why Afghanistan only?

Prior to WWII, Germany was a proper nation. The same reaosn applied to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. They were proper state and US contribute little in the nation building. The similarity between those countries were that they were nearly monoethnical and monolingual countries. In Afghanistan, US faced a nation with many ethnic and languages and the tension inside them.

Their loyalty lies with their individual ethnic groups/tribes. This sober reality is why the Afghan military wasn't willing to defend Kabul or their government.

They only needed to keep the ideology and fear alive until pressure from mostly the US people forces their leader to withdraw all of their forces in Afghanistan. So yeah many wars and battles have been won by simply waiting out the enemy and the Taliban just proved it. Also the Taliban know just how precious their victory was and will be stupid to do anything to cause another invasion.

And so they have endured; perhaps the trouble is for us - though with 'post-Westphalian' this and 'no person is illegal' that, along with a hearty sprinkling of the 'brotherhood of man' to make the medicine go down, our pesky nationhood shan't trouble us long. I recall a popular humorous video of a US soldier having trouble training incompetent Afghans; I suspect few watchers appreciated the true futility of the man's mission, however, which was revealed fully when he complained to a native officer that the problem with his troops was they had no "nationalism", and that he should rectify it. If only someone had been there to tell him that Nationalism was born in the 19th century and extirpated in the 20th, with anything that looks like a fresh outbreak quickly being stamped out by his own State Department in the 21st. Of course, with the linguistic root of Nationalism being the same as that of 'natal', I must present divining how and why it is apt to be presented as a *contrasting* phenomenon to 'personal obligations to a tribe/region(?)/family' as an exercise for the intelligent reader. Prize for success: one Garibaldi biscuit.
