The United States left Vietnam, and then sat on its hands as the South Vietnamese Army begged for help. The communists ate the whole nation, and millions of its own citizens perished, were imprisoned, or fled for their lives.
Meanwhile, in our own country, the Left, which had claimed to carry the standard of human liberty and individual freedom, turned its back on the carnage, actually attacking its own members who tried to call attention to it.
So it goes. I expect nothing different this time, either, when our abandonment of Iraq and Afghanistan have the same results.
Surrender does not require signatures. It simply requires that one side abandon the battlefield and never return.
Incidentally, your analogy falls apart slightly when you bring Britain and the American Revolution into this, since to the best of my historical knowledge, Washington and the revolutionaries did not have, as one of their primary goals, the eventual obliteration of England and Europe.
That your side is so completely incapable of comprehending the problem we face in leaving Iraq and Afghanstan to our enemies is one reason I did not want to see your political philosophy put in charge of our security.
