It makes no sense that civilians and allies weren’t evacuated prior to soldiers and prior to abandoning Bagram.

Very sad day.

It’s awful. It’s like at every critical juncture, the worst possible decision has been made every time on every front.

I’m sick to my stomach.

You can bet if this was a NE storm like last week, they'd be having national addresses and waking Biden up from his nap while US troops are dying needlessly.

"It makes no sense": Even CNN has reported that Biden over rode his military advisors' advice, FOX as well. As he said on national tv: "The buck stops with me".

It makes perfect sense if you're incompetent and don't really give two shits.

I couldn't imagine still being in right now and watching not only the situation unfold but the top leaders seemingly give no fricks.
