    what would beating the Taliban involve?

    What about taking more than 5 minutes to the Taliban to come back in power after the us left?

      That seems a strange definition to me - so if a boxer gets back up after losing the match, well his opponent didn’t beat him in that fight?

        Are you under the impression that the US military and the Taliban were engaged in friendly competition for no reason whatsoever, just a bit of international banter?
