      this feels pathetic. just undignified somehow "hashtag human rights" stumbling back and forth across the sad line between bathos and pathos would have been better not to tweet at allhttps://twitter.com/USEmbassyKabul/status/1425722479503413248 …

      Escalating Taliban violence, including executions of surrendered Afghan troops, shows a lack of respect for #HumanRights. Don’t erase Afghanistan’s human rights gains of the last 20 years.

          The govt & society failed to integrate what happened into a meaningful historical / personal narrative so the trauma of defeat & waste was never resolved, creating ‘flashbacks’ in the form of POW / MIA conspiracy theories, vitriol against Maya Lin’s monument, etc

          In other words, people trying to ‘win’ the war or redeem themselves long after it’s been lost. This revanchism can get ugly and it’s not particularly constructive (cf the lost cause in the south)

          It escalated a sense of failure and dread of inevitable decay. Korea was, at least, a truce; we were still there, after all. This was defeat. But 15 years later we were all excited about Gulf War 1 and we forgot every lesson Vietnam could have taught us.

          Gulf War I was very much fought under the shadow of Vietnam, though. There was a defined target, and "avoiding mission creep" was said by some politician or general on tv every ten minutes.
