It's not an orderly withdrawal, it's a 1975-Saigon-level rout, the details of which have not yet even begun to be explained.

And like Vietnam the war in Afghanistan amounts to pouring money and the lives of our men and women in uniform down a rat hole for an objective that will never be achieved. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"-Albert Einstein.

“And like Vietnam the war in Afghanistan amounts to pouring money and the lives of our men and women in uniform down a rat hole for an objective that will never be achieved.”

Soviet analysts said that the cost of the Vietnam War moved the collapse of the USSR forward by ten years.

Trying to protect the South Vietnamese from the bloodbath committed by the communists was worth doing.

Moving the collapse of the USSR forward by ten years was worth doing.

Our boys did not die in vain. That is a leftwad lie.
