Though I can't help wonder what happened to their U.S.-trained armed forces?

What's the adult population of Afganistan? Millions? How many Taliban fighters are there? It's time to wipe the Taliban from the face of the Earth before they get their bearings and settle in. Overrun them by a thousand to one, pulverize them with rocks and sticks and anything else that can be used as a weapon. Take their guns, then use them against the next group of fighters. Make it like the Zombie Apocalypse -- overwhelm them by sheer numbers (eating their brains is optional). Fight as if your lives are at stake -- they are. Fight as if your wives and children lives are at stake -- they are. Fight as if your freedom is at stake -- it is. Don't just protest -- annihilate the Taliban until not a single Taliban fighter is left. You can do it!

Since he thinks the Afghan war should continue, let Lindsey Graham lead the charge: "Tell the Taliban that they may take y'all's lives, but they'll never take y'all's freedom!!!"
