I didn't learn how the Taliban beat America in this article.

Because they gave a shit and the Americans didn't.

The Taliban "won" not because they cared more, but because they waited out the failure of any other group to come together to form a solid government or coalition. One can say that there was not an agreement on why America was over there so long or what America should have done while they were there, but to say that the Americans over there didn't give a shit is wrong.
