Look, what happened in Afghanistan was always going to be what happened. Had we been there one year, ten, twenty or a hundred, we still would have arrived right here..
Unfortunately it was a foregone conclusion. At no point was the Afghan National Army ever going to be what we wanted it to be.
Our military is a product of our values, our population, our history, our budget, our executive priorities etc...
The ANA can only be what it's going to be based on it's own organic values, desires, population, objectives, etc...
If you're angry that Trump made the agreement with the Taliban, or that Biden adhered to that agreement, don't be. It doesn't affect the inevitable outcome.
This is not our issue. This is their issue.
I know we're used to throwing enough bombs at a problem to get what we want, but despite all the bald eagles, apple pie and flag waving, sometimes we don't get what we want. That's life.
