    Just like Afghans, many liked the US, the taliban didn’t. There’d be a percentage of the population fighting tooth and nail.

      And it creates the question – what should the aliens do long term?

      If they leave, what do they owe those of us who liked them?

      I really struggle with this. I can’t say as an American that we don’t owe them anything. But I also can’t say that it’s our job to go back and invade once more. We’ve done that. I don’t know what changes we could make to change the outcome.

      Sorry for the sudden musings, haha
