General cluster F says what?
…and we Lost the war.
The takeaway from the “Afghanistan Papers”: View as suspect any public statements coming from Politicians, US Intel, Military, Pentagon, and/or President and the media reporting it, when it comes to US Interventions.
Now, more than 100,000 Afghans were evacuated and at least half of them will resettle in the USA. An orderly and well-organized evacuation would’ve brought millions of Afghans to our land (half of the population, especially women and girls have a good reason to leave) Would you, especially people who don’t like immigrants very much, happily open your arms to welcome them?
Maybe after *EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN* is back home… not even worried about them until that happens
You are making a great point. Overseeing, Validating, and Transporting around 125,000 personnel, military equipment and sensitive material, in just 2 short weeks, is nothing short of amazing in itself, let alone, while under enormous military threats. The GOP is trying to turn this into a terrible event. So I ask the Republican party, that just a few months ago demanded “under NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, that the war in Afghanistan be over, and our troops brought home”, what did you expect???? Did you want Biden to send ISIS K cake and balloons, in hopes they would play nice? Did you expect our troops to continue to remain in harms way while even more immigrants get transported? Please tell us we are curious.
This dude’s voice sounds shaky while he reads it…
WARMONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if u are gonna be spokespersons for the government then go get a job with obama/biden admin. instead of macerating as journalists
Then you have no idea what a defense secretary does—and you should sit this one out.
Don’t be so stupid people. It was going to be bad no matter what. The military of Afghanistan needed to step up instead of turning tail and running. People need to help themselves instead of waiting for other countries to save their butts
“Afghanistan- A Graveyard of Empires”.
This should have been no Wars no way our people should have been over there no way I should have left a long time ago but the trumps Trump doing
How this guy not under more pressure. His voice is shaky already. If the media turns on him he will fold.
*The war started long before the US sent troops to Afghanistan.* Osama bin Laden was working for decades before 9-11-01. The war will continue after US troops have left the country. *The war continues,* but US politicians decided to pull US military from that one country. We did a bad job of pulling out of that country.
So which country is next to pull the troops out of?
He will probably pull out of South Korea so the north can take over.
Actually I am surprised these , so called college educated people don’t know this. Vietnam was and has been the longest war/involvement WAR America has been in. It was over 20 years.
1954
The Vietnam War and active U.S. involvement in the war began in , though ongoing conflict in the region had stretched back several decades.
Let the Taliban and ISIS-K fight each other while the National Resistance Front (aka Northern Alliance 2.0) continues to hold out in Panjshir Valley.
General Lloyd: I will only speak about what I want to be written in history. The planning that led up to this fiasco has been deleted…
May God bless 🙏 you all for your faithful service to our country, Thank You 🇺🇸
KICK EM OUT

Biden LOST the war in a single day !!! Impeach the BUM
