Time magazine cover - What happens when we leave

[xoxoxoBruce]

Maybe a tiny price we parents in the US, have to pay is being forced to explain to our kids how it comes to be that young girls can be so mistreated.

The same as explaining the same thing happens in many other places.

But the current fighting has come to be with the Taliban.
This makes it a religious war, and one that a "Christian" nation can not win.

I disagree. It does not make it a religious war, unless you are saying Afghans who don't support the Taliban are not really Muslims.
Indeed the rest of the people in the world, that don't agree with the Taliban, can't be Muslims.
It's a culture war... we, and the Taliban, wish to impose our culture on the Afghans.
Both say it's to save the Afghans from the other.
