You can’t impose your ideals and principles on a country that is mostly living in the 15th century.
I think the frame is what minimal involvement there would prevent the Taliban from charging in, setup shop, foster terrorists and another 9/11 vs leaving.

I am surprised the case for a small army and air force lost to tuck tail.

Cause guess who is going in…China. Now there is deterrent from them after the next attack.

Well maybe their police state will keep the terrorists at bay. A camera and drone on every corner. Maybe that ens up being safer.
