From what you read that miscalculation occurred over decades,
Creating an Afghan force in our image, relying on air support that wouldn’t be there one day.
I blame Biden for prioritizing political theater over logistical realities, and for not making priority 1 the safety of our citizens and all those who put their lives on the line for us for decades. We needed to do that because it’s the right thing to do, and because that’s the image we should project to allies and adversaries.
There are a whole lot of other possible options than staying another 8 years. How about 6 months with a far better defended exit point at Bagram? Biden was right to delay Trump’s deadline, but he did it for the wrong reasons.
