He should resign. Either he doesn't understand or he failed to advise properly

SSG Robert Mark Odom - The only blame here is on the Biden administration period. They have had eight months to plan and figure this out. I can't imagine going to a new unit and blaming my predecessor eight months after they left for anything. That is absurd.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin refused to commit to evacuating every American and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holder from Afghanistan during a Sunday appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”
We’re going to try our very best to get everybody, every American citizen who wants to get out, out.
What did Yoda say, “Do or Do not, there is no try”.

I agree he should resign… he’s responsible for allowing this shit storm. Biden is just incompetent and senile.

SSG Robert Mark Odom - I believe our Nation needed to respond after 9-11. We do not appear to successfully "nation build" after Vietnam. My eldest son did a tour in Afghanistan, my wife’s doctor lost a son over there. I was told many of the Afghanistan people just want to raise their children and support their families.

This article expresses much what I am thinking. Two critical events happened in July. The State Department sent a memo that said Afghanistan Forces were collapsing faster than expected and we moved out of Bagram Air Base. From what I have gleaned from News sources our movements and plans were not briefed to our allies. We had no “Plan B”. So we ended up depending on the mercy of the Taliban and they are dictating to us. There are resistance fighters but our hands are tied from helping them until American citizens are out. So why wasn’t there a second air base like Bagram for movement of civilians? Why wasn’t there better coordination with allies and why did we give the Taliban all the leverage? Oh never mind we are weeding white supremacy out of the military, that will teach the Taliban!

The way we abandoned Bagram showed that we our withdrawal was not being coordinated with anybody who might have been labeled allies, LTC David Brown. That has less to do with critical race theory than with an ever-growing U.S. military hubris.

US left Afghan airfield at night, didn't tell new commander
BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. left Afghanistan's Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base's new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans' departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.

1LT William Clardy - I agree, there used to be a saying, “ keep the main hing the main thing”. It seems we are not doing that.

" The culprit is the teaching of anti-American Critical Race Theory (CRT), Forced Vaccinations, and politically correct (PC) speech, or the disease of worrying of potentially hurting feelings rather than concern about winning"
Horseshit!

Agreed. A bunch of horseshit with zero proof. The buzzwords attracted their audience as intended.
