As the U.S. departs Afghanistan after 20 years, it is important to stand back, look past the last few weeks of chaos, and reflect on what it all means. I have heard many people say, “It was all for nothing!” That is an easy reaction, especially for those who are not very familiar with what we did there. Having spent nearly a decade in Afghanistan, I have a different take on this. Although I am very disappointed with the outcome, I do not feel our mission in Afghanistan was all for nothing. There are improvements in nearly every part of life in that country, and much of it cannot be taken away.
