FACTS (Feb 2020, reported Oct 2020 and elections in Nov 2020): “America’s exit from Afghanistan after 19 years was laid out in a February agreement Washington reached with the Taliban. That agreement said U.S. troops would be out of Afghanistan in 18 months, provided the Taliban honored a commitment to fight terrorist groups, with most attention seemingly focused on the Islamic State group’s affiliate in the country.”

The sign "20 years of war for what?" is valid either way.
20 years of war and flaming heaps of cash later and the taliban is as strong as it ever was.
Little bit of sunk cost fallacy there.
