When I heard that the U.S., Afghanistan, and the Taliban had started up three-way peace talks...I couldn't help but immediately think of the infamous peace talks that ended our involvement in Vietnam. There are some similarities, but also many differences. But for people of my age, and especially for those of us who were actually in-theater in Vietnam, the optics are bad and the working assumption that the talks are politically motivated. Like Vietnam, the risk is that so much blood and treasure will have been expended for...very little.
My expectations are very low.
