An old adage tells us: “The last person who quit or got fired gets the blame for everything that goes wrong, until the next person quits or gets fired.” Last week Team Biden placed the blame for the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan squarely on the lap of President Trump in their report.
The report is a shameless rewrite of history.
“From the beginning of the evacuation on August 14 to its completion on August 31, U.S. military and civilian personnel engaged in an around the clock effort to execute the largest airlift of non-combatants in U.S. history. “
The Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, as well as those involved in writing this report are counting on two things: the lack of historical perspective on the part of a large number of American people, and the failures of the media to address the ignored history, that being the withdrawals from Southeast Asia in April 1975, 48 years ago this month.
Taking a look back at the events surrounding the withdrawal from SE Asia serves as a reminder of the lost capabilities of our military operations under the now ‘woke’ military. The Biden team first ignored the Trump Team’s plans and today makes the claim those plans never existed.
Operation Eagle Pull -- This evacuation from Phnom Penh occurred on April 12, 1975, at the same time as the Vietnam and Saigon evacuations. Operations, using updated plans from 1973, began in January 1975, using C-130s to transport over 750 Cambodians over a seven-day period. In March Naval Task Force 76.4, consisting of seven ships, was in place in the gulf of Thailand, awaiting the final evacuation. All told, over 1000 people were evacuated with no loss of life, despite heavy enemy fire.

Where’s the “re-write” part?
Third paragraph.
Shameless rewrite of history but nothing new for the democrats
It’s why they try to ban so many books.
