Lol thats so untrue, are we already at the phase of rewriting this recent history?

US and coalition held Kabul (mostly) and their bases, and that was about it. Rest of the country was lets say contested territory, never really conquered, never yielding to Kabul government or coalition.

Ambushes, attacks, suicide bombers were daily grind. Not really conquered territory, is it.

Whether it was or wasnt defeat - when you see soldiers desperately running away from the country in a very similar fashion that happened in Vietnam, I struggle to not describe it as a full military defeat. The fact that it was orchestrated by politicians doesn't change much.
