History shows why we should get out of Afghanistan
By Dave Stancliff/For the Times-Standard

Here we are. A country immersed in other nations' affairs for all the
wrong reasons. We're deeply mired in wars with no clear-cut exit plan
from either country we invaded, and now occupy. What happened to
learning from history?
Remember Vietnam? The obvious similarity seems to escape our politicians
and military. Historians agree that Vietnam shouldn't have happened and
someone should have reined in McNamara before he led our military and
country into the quicksand.
There are men and women in our military who remember helping the Taliban
fight the Russians during their decade-long occupation of Afghanistan.
We looked upon the Taliban as nationalists back then, people fighting
for their freedom.
