      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

      They would. Just point anyone they think deserves less then themselves and they Will fight tooth and nail. So so many americans will gladly cut off their nose to spite their face
