Today marks the two year anniversary of the most recent "Fall of Kabul." Evacuating Afghanistan has never been easy, as the British Military discovered when they tried to withdraw 16,000 personnel from Kabul in 1842. Why did only one survivor make it to destination Jalalabad? Lessons from the previous evacuation in this Geoffrey Botkin video:
"In the discussions to which this interest has given rise and in the arrangements by which they may terminate the occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. "
-- James Monroe, speech to the US Congress on December 2, 1823
