       |  _A: Two thoughts. First, you can leave a foreign country behind
       | in an orderly way. Ask the British Empire, which mostly ended its
       | colonial occupations in an orderly way._

       | The interviewee says this as though it's common sense, but is it
       | true? The examples that stick out to me are India,
       | Israel/Palestine, and the South African colonies. Can these
       | really be described as safe and orderly withdrawals? What are the
       | examples of successful withdrawals? Are they really that much
       | better than US withdrawal from Vietnam or Afghanistan?
