We are a laughing stock but more importantly, we are seen as betraying those we promised to protect. I am glad our WWII soldiers (mostly) are not around to see this.
A group of Taliban fighters released a collection of propaganda footage, including a photo where they mocked the famed World War II picture of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima.
In the original 1945 photograph, a group of six Marines are depicted hosting the flag on Mount Suribachi.
The Taliban's Badri 313 Battalion recreated the image this week.

Lt Col Charlie Brown They can't think for themselves. What's that old saying, "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery" or something like that. So the Taliban must actually admire the Marines.
