Alexander the Great's army dudes who rebelled against that conquerer of Persia are still making life miserable for anyone wanting to conquer them again.
These millennia old warrior men have brought all who have tried to their knees.
We don't teach much history anymore so inept WH musta thought this would be easy peasy.

We could have stayed, probably should have stayed there. Thirty-five hundred of our guys? Barely any hostile acts in recent memory and we were a stabilizing influence. We're in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Japan and dozens of other places around the globe. We tuck tail and run. The US isn't to be trusted.

Is there any sense trying to explain anything to someone so dumb they didn't see the complete idiot Biden is?

1) you don’t pull troops during the fighting season. You do it in the winter when the guys you are fighting are with their Pakistani friends. They go there every winter and lay low.

2) you don’t close your best airfield with multiple runways (Bagram Air Base) and try to Evac from a airport that is practically in the middle of a city.

3) you destroy all weapons and munitions before you leave

4) you ensure the safety of the Afghans and their families that have helped you long before you leave. Instead of making them wade through stacks of paperwork and jump ten thousand hurdles of red tape. This also puts allies at ease and shows the world we help those who help us. Or as I heard someone say. “Fly them to Mexico and let them walk into Merrica seems to be pretty easy going that route “

That’s a start and I’m just a dumb farmer


Everything the left touches it destroys

A better American than me for even considering he is worthy of an answer.

Thank you Pawnee for reminding me I have to do better.

It’s not just the Biden Administration, although I agree they are clueless, many heads should roll at the pentagon . But doubt that will happen because the US people love to be lied to, by DC politicians and the deep state bureaucracy.

Let them be outraged. That's our new National Pastime.

The subject or prior positions on the subject are irrelevant. Solutions are discouraged.

Pretty fair to at minimum secure the attack helicopters and other armor and maybe even personnel before the withdrawal. Very few people wanted a continuance on the war, they just expected us to get our people and the heavy guns out.

Trump would have likely had a few MOABs on hand ready to go along with a warning with teeth in it and a contingency plan. Leftists suck. Period.

Look at what we've become. Is anyone surprised that half the world is laughing at us and the other half wants us exterminated?

We never could have won there with the way we were doing it that was evident the way it fell in days. The draw down was not done right and could have been much worse. They have the biggest Lithium deposits known of in the world which could be the new oil and China will soon move in and be the best buddy. It is going to be interesting to see what unfolds in years to come.

What's also sad is not a gradual removal of troops, but more like a sudden retreat leaving expensive military equipment for the Taliban.


Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.
