20 years, 200. As long as it takes, right? Particularly if we have some responsibility to the folks involved. Do we....?
Do I think that a war with the taliban is winnable? I know it is, because the war against the taliban was won. It's just adding insult to injury propping them back up again. There was never any real doubt that they'd shit on the agreement that put them back into power. Lo and behold, the leader of aq sunbathing in kabul, eh. Women and girls back where they were - in their proper place. Boys and young men being groomed for jihad. This, after..as you rightly note, 20 years of other realities and expectations. Whole generation growing up. What could possibly go wrong for the good people of afghanistan, to whom we owe a debt?
I think if you'd really thought this through, you'd realize there's no oxygen in the room for you. I think that it's a good idea to finish what you start, and to keep your promises - sure. However, if that's not the right thing to do, and the right thing to do is cut and run and then prop up the taliban....as you insist...well, that is what we actually did......
So...what's the problem, again?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
