I'm not even sure what our mission was in Afghanistan after we found Osama bin laden. Nation building or some sort of bullshite. How can you build a nation of citizens who wish to live in the 15th century.
We should have left much earlier. The place has no strategic importance.

Taliban leaders are upholding their word (for now) and are allowing our citizens and allies to evacuate without aggression.

If we were to have a free and fair press most of the so-called press we currently have would have to catch a round behind the right ear, simple as that.

It's scary to think how many of these terrorists are here now because we cant be bothered to protect our borders. Next terror attack on US soil is all on this administration and all of the people that voted for it and have ignored the border crisis.
Bingo! The stage has already been set and the die been cast. How many terrorists have been ushered through the stage door left by the CIA this summer and there will be a massive terrorist attack on US soil.

From Saigon to Kabul: Biden?s response to Vietnam echoes in his views of Afghanistan withdrawal
www.washingtonpost.com
Two weeks before Saigon fell in April 1975, a 32-year-old Joe Biden was among the senators summoned to the White House for a top-secret briefing on the crisis in Vietnam.
Though just a freshman, Biden gave the president a clear message: The situation in Vietnam was hopeless, and the United States should leave as quickly as possible, according to a column by Rowland Evans and Robert Novak at the time that described Biden’s interactions with then-President Gerald Ford.
Full article at WaPo, but I can't get passed the paywall right now.

US Citizens should demand a huge change in the main stream media. They along with Soros are the reason this country is in the shape it is in today.

Yea I heard Spirit has offered to send their entire fleet over to Afghanistan as a helpful gesture and the evacuees responded with “we good”

Feelings are the ABSOLUTE WORST reason to vote
We all try to convince ourselves we don't vote on feelings, when in reality it's all we ever do.
If YOU think YOU don't, you're deluding yourself.

Even better, start your own media platform, and deliver the information yourself.

I figured the earlier reports from CNN about the Embassy being fully evacuated were bullshite. They only missed it by several hours.
