America may be ending the 20-year “endless war,” but the way it is leaving Afghanistan will certainly mean the start of another phase of fighting in this war-torn country. As the Taliban makes rapid gains, the U.S.-trained Afghan forces are suffering in disarray—often conceding ground without a fight as many head home to provinces already captured by the Taliban. The enormous cost of war is more than $2 trillion, along with tens of thousands of lives. Sadly, Afghans have paid the highest price with more than 60,000 members of the Afghan Security Services killed; now some of them are even surrendering. Today there is little chance of creating a meaningful peace settlement with the return of the Taliban in power, along with other terrorist groups that are working behind the scenes like ISIS and al Qaeda.
