The whole withdrawal was a disgusting slap in the face. We left the exact same people in control of the country and accomplished nothing.

'War on terror.' It was all just bullshite.

Revisionist history.

Trump left the game plan and timeline for withdrawal for them, and Biden's admin literally ignored it because they didn't want Trump's admin to get the credit.

Biden not only got 13 people killed, but left terrorists all of our equipment.

Biden didn’t even know what planet he was on. He is gone.

When were all those in the military and government responsible punished for this atrocity?

That’s your real problem

How many more died as a result of that evacuation? The amount of military equipment left without destruction certainly caused others deaths

That was among the worst days for America in the past several decades IMO.

Embarrassing, disorganized yugely, sad, tragic, angry and most importantly, zero accountability. It showed the President and his miscreants are very much above the law.

Those people hanging onto the wheels of the cargo jet were probably killed right after that video.

Right. Scott had a good rant the other day about how Biden botched this.

Americans - I think zero.
Afghanis and Pakistanis - a lot.

I don’t really know what you people expected to happen. Americans were ready for the war to be over and Trump negotiators the Doha Agreement directly with the Taliban cutting the Afghani government out

Trump literally told the Taliban there would be hell to pay if a service member was attacked. The Taliban agreed to keep al-Qaeda and anyone else away.

The Taliban had zero respect for Joe and his admin
