And who would that be?
“The troops” can take care of themselves. They can fight back and 5,000 of them can hold a strongpoint in a city.
There are probably a lot of US civilians that need to be helped.

Breaking…Biden is going to address the nation in next few days.
From his vacation?
This you, Altair?
Biden is not humiliated; the only humiliated are those that foolishly equate their manhood to the American military.
Biden made the hard decision that 3 presidents prior did not. And he took this decision knowing full well that it might go sideways.
The only thing Biden can be faulted with is his optimistic assessment of the Afghan army. At this point, we should have just pulled out in 2002 and saved a ton of American money and American casualties

I knew it was going to go sideways. You know it was. For sure, intelligence agencies and those in the Sit Room knew it.
In fact, I’ll go further: Biden to this decision despite receiving epic pressure from his generals and intelligence to at least leave the 2.5k.

So Trump didn’t decide to pull the troops out?
What was it he said “America is Back”.
“everything i screw up is because i’m following the policy of the previous president”
“because that’s why you “elected” me < snicker > to follow through on trump’s policies”

He decided, sure. Thing is, we won’t know what actually would have happened if he was re-elected.
For that matter, he campaigned on ending the forever wars, but didn’t manage to even set the date until into his presumptive second term. Why is that? What was so magical about 5/1/2021?
This you, Altair?
If not now, then when? We won the war years ago. Remember? We went into Afghanistan to kill everyone who was involved with 911. We did that. After we did that we stayed and decided that we should expand the mission. Hang around until the Afghans became our friends. Well that was a seriously stupid assed goal. We killed the 911 people. We have no business there at all right now. Nato hates the idea of us leaving. Why? They are free to replace us with German or French troops. If they want to stay. Let them do it. Who cares?
Merkel’s Germany Tells Trump Not to Bring Troops Home from Afghanistan (breitbart.com)
Does anybody remember why we went to Afghanistan? I do. We were led to believe that it was to annihilate everyone who was involved in 911. We did it! Congratulations to us! All of the leadership is dead. From the top man, his lieutenants his financiers and planners. All dead or at Gitmo. And their fighters? Some have scattered into the woodwork, but tens of thousand have been sent off to meet Allah. War over right? Not so fast. Now the bait and switch. Now we are being told that we cannot leave until the government and people of Afghanistan love and support the U.S. What the Hell? Why is that part of the deal? And why were we not told of this goal before we dropped the first bomb?
It’s time to declare victory and leave. Being friends with the Afghans should not be a requirement. They do not have the capability to strike us. Unless they can sneak a sledgehammer on board to bash down the cockpit door, commercial airliners are out. We won. It’s time to leave.
Priceless…
Priceless…
vapid cheerleading
Hypocrisy to the Nth degree.
I heard a news report where they said that the Taliban may lob some mortar rounds in the direction of the American forces so they could claim that the U.S. withdrew under fire.
Another massive Biden screw up.
one thing is for sure
no media wordjerks is going to highlight this as a Biden failure. they will spin it as a good thing for dumb-dumbs
try not to kick the tv off the stand
