Also, it's completely incorrect. The reason that the 2001 war in
Afghanistan ended so quickly is because Afghanistan was in the early
part of a generational Recovery era (First Turning). Today,
Afghanistan is into an Awakening era, and the Pashtun Taliban are
becoming more active, which means that American troops there will
never finish their mission, and at some point will have to just
abandon Afghanistan.

Osama bin Laden was under the protection of the Muslim Pashtun Taliban
in a country in a Recovery era. If OBL had instead been under the
protection of the Muslim Uighurs in China's Xinjiang province, then
things would have unfolded very differently.

The reason that the 2001 Afghan war ended so quickly is that
Afghanistan was in a generational Recovery era (First Turning).
That's why the Afghan army collapsed so quickly - there was no will to
fight. America's conduct of the war was determined by Afghanistan's
conduct of the war, and that was determined by Afghanistan's
generational era. If Afghanistan had been in a Crisis era,
then things could have been very different.
