It is not a war.
War is a conflict between states.
War between states is simple. It is not easy,but it is simple.
In Afghanistan, the States of the West are in [some kind of] alliance, with a [western-bankrolled, deeply corrupt, demonstrably ineffectual] gunmint,
Against a bunch of low-budget religionists whose only purpose is to eject us from their land,
The West has no f#ckin' idea:
- What success look like, or;
- How to achieve it.
. . . . but we're still in there, getting our soldiers killed . . .Summer grasses - all that is left of the dreams of soldiers

Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.
