    War is coming with Iran soon, that's why the rush is out !
    US troops in Afghanistan would be at risk from attacks.

    What do you want to to do invite them all to move to the USA and let there tribal nature infect the USA. Sometimes you just have to give up on a impossible situation. Thank TRUMP~! His administration started the retreat... It was costing US to
    much and Trump started the retreat during his administration.

    How much longer do you want the USA to be involved in this NEVER ending war? It has been time to go for years... They won WE lost. Suck it up buttercup... Team USA lost the peace and the war... Thank all the people who came before Biden for
    the mess. Yea there might be a massacre but it is NOT our war anymore.. We have learned that we can't win a war when it is Tribal and Generational. We were the invaders...and We got our asses kicked..

    Perhaps you would favor using a few tactical Atomic bombs? Leaving military gear is foolish. We need to destroy whatever weapons and trucks and the entire base so that there is NOTHING left for the Taliban to use as they will just get bigger and
    bolder... You obviously haven no recognition of Trump's role during his term..

    My issue is not with leaving. It is with how it was done. Biden totally botched it. You must have time to evacuate diplomats, Americans and sympathetic Afghans. What we have instead, is a free for all.

    Huh?? No. Trump would have done the withdrawl without all this bloodshed. Did you see Afghans crawling over airplanes. Did you see them drop off of flying planes. That is on Biden's watch, not Trumps. Trump was smart to wait.

    I doubt it. The NEW Afghani government is NOT going to be like the last.. They claim that they want respect this time... Not blood. If there is a mass cleansing they will loose ALL respect.. This is NOT what anyone wants. I hope it can hold.
    Remember, it was WE who were the invaders...

    I agree. Not like they didn't know that climbing on a jet taking off is asking for death. I don't have any feelings for stupid.

    They are looking for respect and legitimacy. I doubt they will start serious problems for now anyway. But Afghan woman had better start wearing their Burkas.

    IDK if they deserved it or not. But their choices were pretty bad when it came to climbing on a jet about to take off. Did they think the jet would stop for them....? IDK what they were thinking.

    Pretty sick with families lifting their children over walls to get them to safety.

    What do you suggest to do, when the Afghan puppet president ran away and it's military just gave up?
    When the Russians took over Afghanistan, arrested the president, because he wasn't tough enough with the Taliban.
    President was turned over to an opposition group , who killed him and dragged his body behind a car on the streets of Kabul all day for everyone to see.

    These families may never see their children again. The Trump admin had some pretty smart cabinet members. Biden admin not so much. Harris is a real zero. If Harris every became president, the Senate would go to the Republicans because as President, she
    cannot vote.

    Yes. STUPID has consequences. I don't like watching people die stupidly. But it happens every day.
    Pretty sick with families lifting their children over walls to get them to safety. These families may never see their children again. The Trump admin had some pretty smart cabinet members. Biden admin not so much. Harris is a real zero. If Harris every
    became president, the Senate would go to the Republicans because as President, she cannot vote.

    If you felt that your children would be better off it is called an 'Act of Love'...

    Obviously the parents feel that they might die. They wish for there children to live a better life than what is coming in Afganistan.. Woman are beaten daily by the Taliban. The Taliban treat their dogs better than they do woman. Would you want
    this for your child? Would you want to watch your little girls head smashed in before they shot you? This was a 'act of love'... Something you perhaps know nothing about...

    Trump during the campaign promised to pull out of
    Afghanistan BEFORE now. So according to the Republicans
    what Biden did wrong was waiting until now.
    Huh?? No. Trump would have done the withdrawl without all this bloodshed. Did you see Afghans crawling over airplanes. Did you see them drop off of flying planes. That is on Biden's watch, not Trumps. Trump was smart to wait.
    What's Biden has to do with it, that a thousand scarry Afghan attacked the transporter plane?
    Any one climbing on a jet plane while taking off must be crazy!
    They deserved it!

    I read about one soccer who fell from the sky... He was determened to get out... He and two others tried to hold on to what ever he could, They all perished. Reading the story was difficult. He was a star soccer player.. He wanted a better life
    than being conscripted to the Taliban. When I hear Vito's bullshit opinions I want to kick him in the nuts...

    You think TRUMP would have done better? How?
    Yes.

    1) Don't wait until the last minute to start evactuating;

    2) Evacuate the civilians we wanted out BEFORE evacuating the troops protecting them;

    3) Evacuate the valuable military equipment rather than leaving it
    sitting there to be taken by the Taliban;

    4) Don't walk away from the more secure Baghram AFB (thank Biden's guy Milley(sp?) for the decision to just abandon it and the equipment
    there);

    5) Precisely because Trump could be a scary guy, the Taliban leaders
    knew Trump could and would hold them personally responsible if they
    didn't live up to their end of any agreement; I don't think they're
    as worried about Biden doing that.

    6) By extending the leave date from May to August, Biden broke the
    agreement Trump had made which gave the Taliban an excuse to be
    less committed to their side of the agreement.

    I've heard some claim that extending the deadline gave the Taliban more
    time to plan their takeover, but I'm not convinced yet that that was a significant factor.

    So, yes, I think Trump would have done better. Afghanistan probably
    still would have fallen rapidly, but we would have had a clean exit.
    -WBE

    Well we will never know.. I agree that abandoning the AFB was lame. But I am not sure who made that call ...and why?

    ...

    Milley(sp?) was instructed by the administration to protect the embassy.
    He said they don't have enough spare troops to do what he was being
    ordered to do. [My impression (possibly wrong) is that that situation
    was caused at least in part by the troop withdrawals already under way,
    which, as I commented in (2), maybe should have been done last.]

    According to the news I've seen, it was Milley, in the absence of enough troops, who directed that Baghram be abandoned in order to get the
    troops required to guard the embassy. AFAIK (and I could be wrong),
    they simply abandoned the AFB and all the equipment there, even though
    Baghram was much more secure, especially for Americans, than Karzai International airport which they're using for evacuations now.

    To your original question: I think Trump's military guys would have done better.

    Are you saying that desperate people attempting to save their children is a sick event? That they would rather GIVE up there child knowing that they might grow up in a better place than within a war. Hoping their child will have a better life than
    what the parents can provide with a war going on. That was an act of unselfish love IMO. Perhaps it is something you just can't understand.
