I strongly disagree with the assertion of many in this forum that the American military is to blame for this debacle. Withdrawal could have been planned better, sure. But the underlying issue is the loss of the government and reversion to Taliban rule. This is not the fault of the American military. We gave them training and security cover for 20 years. This is an issue of the Afghan people being war weary and not caring enough to stand and fight. The loss is on the Afghans, not the Americans.

While we should not be taking care of everyone we still got involved with something and then the way we pulled out was not right. Politicians get us involved with things and then turn around a screw the whole thing up by the way they end it. Now because of the Biden Admin we are back to square one which is where we were like 20 years ago. It could have been handle in a much better way but has usual they just opened a can of worms.
