It could have been just the opposite

I thought the primary obligation of the American Gov’t was to protect American Citizens? The American commanding General was the first to leave?

Look at who they have at the top. It’s a disgrace.

I don’t see this country ever turning around.

It’s a mess.

Resident Biden is a politician. He’s lived by the election cycle policies and the dumb masses who believe all his BS

Abandoning Bagram AFB was the blunder of all time.

Jimmy Carter hopes so. Might lessen the sting he suffered under the Operation Eagle Claw disaster

Goat Rodeo
A situation that is hopelessly f*?ked up. The worst of three stages of goat-ness. First is the Goat Rope, defined else where.

Then there is the utilitraian Goat F*?k. This normally requires a serious amount of work to unf*?k.

Lastly, there is the Goat Rodeo. The worst of the three, it is beyond even profanity. It describes a situation that involves many individuals screw ups, and implies that the f*?k up is already well underway, meaning that there is no hope in stopping the mess. Usually said with a defeated tone.

We need a re-write.
Bidon discovered and delivered a fourth stage, far and away much worse than a goat rodeo

Today’s interview of Biden is already setting him up as Defiant and determined. The decision was his but the results are not his fault. The Praetorian guard is lined up

GEN Scott Miller is the woketard idiot who exerted undue command influence to ensure that a few women “passed” Ranger School a few years back, while he commanded Ft. Benning. He actively intervened in the process, sending a clear message to the Ranger Instructor Cadre that a woman WOULD pass that cycle. He’s part of the problem.

That'll be eclipsed after Biden's next major international disaster.

“The maneuvering by the Pentagon to obstruct the Trump administration’s initiative to end an extremely unpopular war in Afghanistan was just one example in a long-established pattern of undermining presidential authority over matters of war and peace.“
But they listened to Biden?

It’s plausible. Biden’s cabal would find a way to kill their pension, and make it stick.

General Austin Scott Miller is a four-star general in the United States Army and former Delta Force captain who served as the final commander of NATO's Resolute Support Mission and United States Forces - Afghanistan from September 2, 2018 to July 12, 2021.

So, this is whom they are speaking of, I guess.

Admitting my confusion. I had heard Biden overruled military advice but today Biden said he listened to military advise and saw this fiasco coming and will stand by this action.

Little Bighorn is still up there, along with wounded knee.

But this is bad.
