The "war" didn't last long...it's the never ending battles that keep us there.
And if we pulled every person/troop out tomorrow or 100 years from now someone from the other side will jump out of a cave and yell they "won".
The larger problem, for me, is a president that makes these grand moves and announcements without consulting the people who have to do the work or an consideration for the negative things it may create. DJT does not believe he ever makes a bad decision. And as a businessman all that meant was he would go further in debt and he wouldn't pay the honest people working for him. As President it means people's lives and OUR money is being wasted. Truthfully though he either doesn't care or doesn't understand. Maybe a little of both.
We have seen it in Afghanistan though we battled the Taliban and they are still around today, maybe less brazen, but they are still functioning. We cannot defeat these foreign born organization based inside their own countries but no one wants to say we quit. I don't hold the "we won" thing to be a huge deal more so than a PR spin. Many wanted out and as you said you can never really leave or else it'll revert back so you can say we give up or we won, but the end result is us leaving which many do actually want.
