This is a good short interview with Lt. Col. Schaffer that has first hand experience about the difference between Trump's plan and Biden's plan.

Biden was advised by the military not to go the route he wanted to go. The Pentagon preferred the Trump plan. Biden just ignored then, and now we see what happened.

So who is convinced Biden?

Biden, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the senior leadership of the Pentagon all need to resign. Nothing else is acceptable after this disaster.

Schaffer looked like he had been beaten up. Looked like he may have had black eyes or something.

Retired Navy SEAL calls for resignations of top Biden admin officials: ‘They’ve abjectly failed’!

Derrick Van Orden says Afghanistan crisis shows ‘broken’ national security system

Top officials are facing backlash after the Biden administration’s announcement to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11 opened a path for the Taliban to take control of the country.

In an interview on “Fox & Friends,” retired Navy SEAL and Wisconsin congressional candidate Derrick Van Orden called on Biden’s top diplomatic advisers to resign, saying they failed in their duty to advise the president.

DERRICK VAN ORDEN: I did two tours in Afghanistan in 2003 and 2009, and, unfortunately, the Biden administration is redefining the word incompetence.

You’ve got Secretary Blinken and Secretary Austin. They need to tender their resignations right now.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Milley, he needs to go peel potatoes in the galley for about a month and then resign also.

These folks’ primary duty is to advise the president of the United States on diplomatic and military matters and they’ve abjectly failed that. The national security architecture of the United States of America is clearly broken right now.

And this is playing out in real time. People can’t pretend like this isn’t happening. We truly understand now that the emperor has no clothes. As a matter of fact, we don’t even know if he’s wearing clothes right now because he has disappeared from the public.

The president of the United States, in clearly the most dramatic foreign policy crisis in the United States in a very, very long time, probably since Sept. 11, 2001, has disappeared. Jen Psaki has taken the week off too. This is unacceptable.

Probably so, but Biden won’t resign.
The others might.

STOP THE PRESSES!! There was a TRUMP plan that the military WANTED to follow? But Biden told them 'no' and they DIDN'T stand up to him???

$#!+! The big chiefs couldn't run to the WaPo fast enough with stories of how they stood up to Trump! What did The Big Guy say to the Joint Chiefs that made them change the plan?

I just now remember that Obama disappeared the night of Benghazi also.
