and for 1.5 years no American soldier was killed by the Taliban in A-stan. Because they knew, if that happened the deal was off and hell was coming for them.

Until Biden

The ā€œdealā€ wasn’t the problem.

What? That wasn’t a concern under Trump?

C’mon… you are pulling my leg.

The Country that has been run by the Conservative Party for over a decade?

I doubt it. Trump is an idiot.

There were a lot of problems, the deal was definitely one of them. Trump releasing thousands of Taliban including the guy who wound up leading them BEFORE the withdrawal was a problem. He also negotiated a drop dead withdrawal date that would happen just months after Biden took office, with thousands of people to extract from Afghanistan. It would take a monumental effort to get all of these people cleared and processed before that date. And did the Trump administration work night and day to get this done?

No, they didn’t process a single person. They just left it all for the Biden administration to do, with just a couple months to do it. Biden got them to extend the date for a couple months but that was all the Taliban was going to allow. This, along with Biden dealing with the highest surge of COVID on record and the country reeling from an attempted insurrection.

And despite the Trump administration doing nothing to help facilitate the withdrawal, we got out and got as many people processed as possible. And all along the way the GOP, who did nothing to help when they could, did nothing but pick fly ā– ā– ā– ā–  out of pepper and whinge all day he was doing it wrong. So for those who had a problem with how we got out, maybe it should have started a lot sooner. Maybe we could have held off on releasing all those Taliban until after we left.

That was the problem. The equipment we left behind was disabled and make into scrap for the most part.

Yeah, but we should have disarmed our ally before withdrawing according to our deal made with terrorists.

An often misunderstood phrase along with CMOH
It might have been nice to include an explanation so let me:
It is traditionally awarded only to members of the armed forces for valor and/or self-sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty while in combat, and, because it is presented in the name of Congress, it is often mistakenly called the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The award is officially ā€œThe Medal of Honorā€

And according to Trump, those who are awarded it are losers, suckers, dead, and/or in bad shape full of bullets. Not in the same league as the Medal of Freedom you can get by giving Trump lots of money.

Trump being Trump about all of that is bad… but it will be dismissed because it is Trump.

He sent us checks!

To get a Medal of Honor you have been hurt pretty badly by bullets or your even dead, so it’s better to get other kind of medals.
