Absolutely it is. Peace is not the absence of conflict. If the ANA wasnât ready, obviously they werenât, then leaving the 1 Jul 2021 troop strength doesnât hurt anything for another 50 years or so.
As long as itâs the right people.
Before last week, we hadnât had a casualty in how long? What exactly do you think we were doing all that time?
Iâm not on the ground there. Never been there. Withdrawal? Everybody? Mmmmm. I have no problem with leaving advisors in place if itâs the right thing to do and we can get them out.
Do you not know US troop strength on 1 Jul 2021? What were they doing?
I do not. I know that date was 16 months after Trump signed the withdrawal agreement. And that by that point most of villages had long since surrendered to the Taliban in their own negotiations.
The Taliban were planning this for the last 2 years. Maybe Trump shouldnât of negotiated the terms of our withdrawal with the Taliban and instead coordinated with the Afghans on how we were going to work together after we left
Donât get me wrong. Biden â â â â â â it up bad. Taking out air support first is moronic but maybe if he wasnât denied security briefings for 2 months he wouldnât of been caught so flat footed. His transition teamâs 1st real briefing from the Pentagon wasnât until January 1st
