was not the exit but the what the hell entry. Sure, 9/11, but just like Iraq no plan for exit.
Plus Trump's "deal" with the Taliban was the usual deal made by Trump...awful.
I won't argue that the actual execution of the exit by Biden and Company could have been a lot better and more organized, but, in fairness, it was to be expected in a fourth world country like Afghanistan.
We spent 20 years training an Afghan "security force" that folded like a tent in two days.
And it's telling that we repeatedly hear about the 13 soldiers that died upon exit, but those same people ignore the 2,000 or so troop deaths and 21,000 or so wounded in the TWENTY YEARS we were there.
