Video Documentary on youtube: The fall of Kabul - The last days of the war in Afghanistan

This isnt a comprehensive point of view ie. theres nothing about all the US military hardware left behind. But I learned some things. Heartbreaking.

I can’t watch it. I feel a great deal of anger about many things, and this one topic really frosts me.

I can’t imagine how this makes our conservative Vietnam Veterans feel.

I watched it and was sad to see what Afghanistan has turned into, thanks to Joke botching the exit of our troops. I got a little pissed when I heard the Aussies trying to blame Trump for orchestrating our exit from the country, especially when it was Joke’s horrible decisions that caused this debacle.

And then I got even more pissed during the last 10 minutes of the show when they were criticizing America for leaving and how horrible Afghan lives will be under Taliban rule.

FFS, how long should we have stayed? Another 20 years...or a century? We’ve sacrificed tens of thousands of American soldiers’ lives for Afghanistan, and for what? The Afghan soldiers were given the finest weapons we had to protect their country with, and yet they folded like cheap suits when push came to shove.

At some point, Afghans have to man up and take back their country from the Taliban savages. The fact that they would prefer to remain victims at the mercy of uneducated and violent religious extremists tells me everything I need to know about them.
