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.

Weather or not the Afghan people can protect themselves is kind of irrelevant. We as the U.S. got involved and made it our business. With that being said, if we need to protect our allies that have helped us and sacrificed with us. Then that is what we do. We protect our brothers. If you want to make a debate on, if we should have been there in the first place, Now I am with you.
