Who we at war with... Not counting JD Civil War!
Yes Trump brokered the deal to leave which most of the media ignored when it sounded like a good thing Trump was doing and now we have you condemning Trump for what General Milley calls a strategic failure. Trump simply ran out of time to complete the deal he made which BTW would have been stopped in it's tracks because the Taliban were not up holding their end of the deal.Correction. Trump negotiated with terrorists.
But this is good. We both get to share our opinions and the readers can decide who is telling a more accurate story, ME and the entire media and the Chairman, or you and your demented narrative.
And can I just comment that you don't don't respond very well when backed into a corner.

The Afghan people we trained wouldn't fight so the Taliban took over quickly. You can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink... Not our problem anymore, for now at least. Maybe we will have to go back in force again someday...
Exit was successful as the generals said. Lots of bitching and moaning about equipment left behind, yada yada, that happens after every war. They don't have the parts or equipment to maintain the stuff so it is basically junk pretty quickly. To retrieve it all, or even some, would put our soldiers at risk. Originally Posted by royamcr
