This is not Biden’s military disaster. It is George W. Bush’s military disaster. Biden is just a bit player here, justt as Gerald Ford was during the Vietnam War.
BS and sour grapes
Leaning right or leaning Left? You seem to presume that the Vietnam war wasn't necessary - in other words, the Soviets, the Warsaw Pact, and the Chinese should have been allowed to support and push their clients, the North Vietnamese into solidifying communists power into Southeast Asia - and the control of the vital seaways that connect the rest of our allies in the area.
How much choice do you think that we really had?
Or are you actually a closet supporter of Ho Chi Minh?
War is the province of chance. Every president is responsible for what goes on during his tenure. They are in command, set the strategy and ROE, and are responsible to the voters.
Biden is mismanaging the withdrawal.
A punitive expedition would have been appropriate. When the mission became “Nation Building” things went to hell in a hand basket. There is no raw material in Afghanistan with which to Nation Build. We should have been out in 3 years at most.
Ford wanted to continue supporting South Vietnam with funds and arms; congressional Dems blocked it.
Sadly have to agree. When Bush decided to do nation building was when he lost his compass and the legitimacy of the operation. It was great to watch the Taliban scurrying from our forces like rats and mice, but the idea of grafting some western style democracy onto the primitive tribal stalks was fatuous and doomed to frustration.
