That is like saying we crossed the finish line all at once, but lets disregard the long road and preparation it took to get there. The drawdown and withdrawal has been happening for the last year. The closure of FOB's has been methodical and planned. It started under Trump and Biden continued it. To say we just decided a month ago to leave and announce it is false. I'm sorry, it just is.
It's piling on, nothing more. Biden's haters will bemoan anything that happened after his inauguration, despite what you've noted. The pearl clutching of how it's playing out is nothing, if not expected from these folks.
For twenty years, America's sons and daughters have been fighting a war no one here wanted but suddenly, the events surrounding the exfil from Afghanistan are a tragedy. It's hard to watch them feign this outrage without laughing.
