We knew that withdrawing meant a Taliban takeover. Which means we will have to deal with Taliban as the government of Afghanistan.

So why bother to bomb them? How does that help anything?

Forget bombs, just drop some vaccines on them!

Trying to help the Afghan army that’s American trained? Only that is reason to bomb them during a pull out. So reminiscent of Vietnam.

I wish we could put soldiers or at least back the border patrol on the southern border. Maybe use them at home? It’s all such a tragedy.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Just like Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq led to the birth of ISIS.
Once the Taliban regain full control expect ISIS like brutality to follow.
