So the Afghan pullout was not the complete failure you say it was. The mistake is usually not even talked about. The pullout overall was not a mistake. The war as it was fought was a mistake, and it was past time to end it. Trump felt the same way as Biden on this. The mistake was not getting folks out before the troops were taken out. But that didn't mean the troops had to stay past August 31; it meant the folks had to be taken out afterward. There was a failure of intelligence about the Afghan troops and their evident plan to give up. The corruption of the army meant that most of the money for troops and equipment went to a few leaders.
Editing is not allowed on this forum. That should change.
I meant the troops needed to be taken out after the folks had been taken out.
