Better question, is Joe Biden competent?

Well, since once can be incompetent even with normal brain function, and since Biden has always been incompetent, then the answer is no, he isn't.

Thanks for sharing that news. It’s infuriating that no one has been held accountable except for a Lt. Col. who was demanding accountability from these pathetic excuses for senior officers and civilian leaders.

The real importance in whether Trump knew is that if he had known, he would have voided the deal. That was the whole measure of the deal. Biden did know and went through with it anyway.

Who said it was OK to cut troops to 2,000 and at the same time release 5,000 Taliban prisoners?

The amounts for recompense are generally in the $thousands, not even the tens of $thousands, and certainly not the $millions that courts would award in this country.

Would the morale of the Afghan army have been better if we had left on April 30?

I thought these bad guys were imprisoned in various places, not all in Baghram.

This article was written Aug. 2020, a year ago. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-taliban-factbox/afghan-prisoner-release-what-it-is-what-it-means-for-peace-idUSKCN2550BS It is very detailed.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/07/31/afghanistan-taliban-prisoners/ This article describes concern of leaders in provincial capitals for preventing Taliban prisoners from escaping from the local prisons.

Wall St. Journal also had an article (hard to read) describing how one Taliban leader who was released recruited troops to take over cities. Said a lot of those released immediately took up arms.

The Afghan Army fell apart the minute we pulled their air support and the Contractors and Military personnel that knew how to repair the air assets.

In case you missed it, John Boehner is still running the GOP. We need to either totally destroy the Republican Swamp faction, or we need a new revolution. This country cannot survive as a one party “democracy”.

WE know this but the average Jamoch being fed it as their only touchpoint by 6pm MSM luckily doesn’t.
