The departure of the last Western troops will be celebrated on August 31 each year
Afghanistan has created a new public holiday to mark the date the last US soldier left the country. According to the Taliban government’s website, the departure of foreign troops will be celebrated each year on August 31.
Festivities were first organized last year, when the authorities and Taliban supporters marked the first anniversary of the withdrawal. Taliban fighters held a rally on Massoud Square in Kabul outside the former US embassy building.

What Americans are experiencing today and do not recognize as such is a nearly modern repeat of what happened in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1775. Then, British “Regulars” were sent to seize the guns, powder, and cannon of Britain’s American Colonists in an attempt to neutralize a potential rebellion over a tax. It was the “shot heard around the world.” A minority of those American Colonists, well, enough anyway, chaffed under the boot of British demands that the Colonists house and feed the King’s regular army, and an increase in a tea tax was necessary. Some protest demonstrations against that tax had to be made to convey their displeasure. Thereafter, the famous “Boston Tea Party” entered the history books.
