But this one was his girlfriend's gift for his 29th birthday that she had taken the trouble to ship to him across the ocean. Koa felt obliged to ride it out at least occasionally, but promised himself not to use the battery. He even took it off the bike, to avoid the temptation.

Why America Failed in Afghanistan
The withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan in August 2021 marked the end of a 20-year war and raised a difficult but necessary question: why did America fail in Afghanistan despite unmatched military power, resources, and global influence? The answer is not simple.
