[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4981893, member: 24302"] You've got your timeline wrong. Trump had us leaving in May and he put conditions in place to make sure of a safe withdrawal. Biden scrapped that, and air power was pulled well before the troops were flown out a couple of weeks ago. That allowed the Taliban to take over the entire country as the Afghan Army fled before them and the Afghan president fled the country. You never, ever leave your fellow citizens behind. Biden was making no attempt to evacuate American citizens or our allies. He just pulled the troops out in the dark of night, leaving thousands of prisoners of war at Bagram air base who the Taliban released. Had to turn around and send 4500 troops back in to take over the international airport. And the British, French, and Dutch were sending out troops to rescue their citizens but not our military. Our citizens and allies were left to make their own way to the airport and many couldn't. Some of our allies have been executed. There's no making excuses here. You always, always take care of your citizens. [/QUOTE]
