When To Fight

The United States is leaving Afghanistan soon and the locals will no doubt revert to the dark ages they experienced before the US took an interest in them. They had a chance after the Russians left, but they squandered it. There is an interesting movie about it. It might have a few of the facts straight. Charlie Wilson’s War

What was the lesson?

They missed a chance to do something that might have worked. They got involved later when things had become a threat to them. They did not put their maximum interest into dealing with what they found. While initially having modest success, they did not finish. They left after spending enormous amounts of money and many lives.

The lesson is simple. One many parents pass on to their children.

Don’t fight if you don’t need to. If you do need to fight, win.

Good advice for the children. Even better for the governments of the world.
