How does a war end?

If it can end without the same sort of scenes as was seen in Saigon in 1975, then I think we can be considered lucky. Since the Taliban isn't an organised army in the manner the NVA was then I think it'll be a fairly organised handover of control. Followed by about two years of insurgency, a civil war, and the collapse of government back into the hands of the Taliban...well...I say two years, it could be two months, but I think that if the Taliban move that quickly then the USAF will have some work given to it.
Either which way, this isn't the end of the war, it's just another phase in it. There's still going to be Allied troops in Afghanistan, not as many, but they're still going to be there and they're still going to get killed.
