Lawrence O'Donnell understands the complications of withdrawing after a long war:

Too many people who were not old enough to watch our exit from Vietnam on TV seem to believe that the U.S. can invade a country, lose a war, then exit without chaos & dishonor.

No one in the Pentagon or on TV knows how to do that which is why it's never been done.
