Picture this: August 15th, 2021, a day that left a lasting mark on America's history. In this gripping episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', Ben Stein, Judah Friedman, and Ben Boychuk tackle the fallout from the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. The hosts dive into the immense financial and human costs of America's two-decade-long involvement in the region.

Stein's poignant quote, 'a very, very, very famous person said that the purpose of an army is to fight and win a war', underscores their frustration with the situation. The episode isn't just about pointing fingers; it's about understanding the broader implications for America's future and the potential resurgence of terrorist threats.
