1. Never.
They did not surrender to the Soviet Union and they will not surrender to us.

WE are the aggressors there. THEY are fighting for and on their country.

WE need to end our war of aggression and COME HOME NOW!

2. They'll surrender to the Afghan Army, as they ramp up.
That's the plan, anyway.

6. Of course.
The same way they eventually surrendered to the British and the Russians.

7. The British tried several times between 1839 and 1919.
They had no better luck than the Soviets.

....When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier ~of~ the Queen!

"The Young British Soldier"
Rudyard Kipling
