Wrong, the main purpose of the military is to kill people and break things on orders. Every time they deviate to something else such as nation rebuilding, It’s a disaster because that’s not their role.

By that logic you support that Biden was right to leave Afghanistan.

He was, but he being Biden, just screwed up the withdrawal big time.

The last time Congress officially declared war was December 8th 1941. Every "war", "conflict" or any otherwise "military action" since then that the US has been a part of has been an illegitimate, unconstitutional usurpation of legislative power by the executive. Every president that has engaged in such activities has been accomplice to murder and guilty of war crimes against foreign forces and citizen of the United States.

100 percent right to withdraw, should have done so after evacuating all personnel and equipment.

Because his date was more important than doing it safely.
Yep. The withdrawal itself was a disaster of epic proportions and it didn't have to go down the way that it did. Lots of people died and may still die unnecessarily as a result. I hope the Republican-controlled House looks into it.

Donald Trump never promised to leave Afghanistan. He also never promised to complete the border wall and have Mexico pay for it.
Donald Trump keeps all of his promises. Always.

What Trump said about Afghanistan before he became president
Trump's decision on whether to ramp up troops comes after he heavily criticized the conflict in Afghanistan.
Sure.
Like I tried to explain to you, just because one was wrong doesn’t mean the other one is right.
Although I think Joe Biden actually unnecessarily cost peoples lives and did not care.
Supporting what he did, and giving him cover, leaves blood on your hands.
Congratulations

I agree with you. I hope they look into it too and I hope they don’t use it just as a political weapon. I’m sick of all of it. Let’s do the right thing because it’s the right thing not because you get a political win.

Absolutely ridiculous to operate that way.
What planet are you from? We left Afghanistan because Trump worked it out with the Taliban. It was a done deal before Biden took over. Biden like everything else he did concerning Trump changed the deal. And it blew up in his face.

Thank you for admitting that the whole Afghan withdrawal debacle was because of Donald J Trump, twice impeached president.
President Biden did not change the deal.

Maybe it was always going to be a disaster which is why it took 20 years to do it?

I didn't understand your response? Are you concerned that Americans died needlessly or just worried about winning a political argument?

Another person concerned only about a political argument on a message board.

Debatable, but neither one of them had a good deal. Trump initiated it Biden fumbled his hand off.
