POPSAfghanistan: Deja Vu As a country we seem to be going down a path that led to a disaster many years ago. Afghanistan is not Vietnam, Vietnam was a country that had a strong foundation, in fact the NVM were one of the best trained military army's in the world, they had foiled attacks form china and japan and sent the French home. Afghanistan is made up of many tribal units that have no love for each other but have a common enemy in the USA, It seems an impossible war to win and many soldiers will die in the meantime, what would happen in the world if we pulled out of Afghanistan, probably nothing, I believe its more about disgrace at this point or possibly their opium crops, there is no other value there that I can see. The ironic part is that at one time we were their friend and helped them defeat the soviets by giving them weapons and training, then we turned our backs on them once the threat was gone.
