Bronco Bama is setting the stage for a bug-out, in the manner of Viet Nam. Most of the combat troops left in an orderly manner in 1973, but the remaining installations were driven out by a rout some two years later, on April 30, 1975, in a totally graceless and chaotic rush for the last helicopter out. The embassy was overrun and stragglers met with who knows what fate.
This is what lies in the future for us in Afghanistan. What the heck, in a less emphatic way, it is happening to us in Iraq. And it happened in Benghazi.
Nobody seems ready to pick up that phone that has been ringing almost endlessly and relentlessly at the White Hut.
“Bronco Bama is setting the stage for a bug-out, in the manner of Viet Nam.”
Yes, and 38 years after their glorious victory over the Yankee oppressors, the Vietnamese willingly and cheerfully have their children make tennis shoes for our children.
I think that is kind of funny.
And my bet is that 2 years after the fact, the taliban will own the place, just like the North Viets did after we pulled out.
Maybe then the Afghani's will understand what we were trying to accomplish for them when they have to grow their beards and women are all ignorant and in burkas again.
