Real simple, “nice poppy fields you have there; shame if something were to happen to them. Now GTF out of our way.”
They do have a contingency plan.
It was the post-Vietnam POW approach.

Did you see the Sec. Def. look around for help after he was asked if we were dependent on the Taliban for the safety of Americans there?
How many people named Muhammad now work at the Pentagon? Many.

There’s the problem. Hurting feelings should be kinda low on the priority list.
There have been some reports saying that the Pentagon gave Biden good advice, but it was ignored. If that’s true, why didn’t any generals resign in protest?
Here’s the way it should have gone.
Biden: Abandon the Bagram airport immediately.
General: That would be a grave error, sir.
Biden: I don’t care. My handlers told me to do it. So just do it.
General: You can do it without me. I resign.
Well, this is a problem that the junta in power since January 6 did not completely nail down.
Obviously, Milley (and all his sub-creatures) were completely on board with removing Trump, by any means necessary. I believe if they needed to install Biden by force, they would have done it.
But now Trump is gone, and routine matters are being handled by a committee of unknown persons. And the military can, for a time, carry on in effect on autopilot. The troops get paid, the beans and bullets are distributed on schedule, the Pentagon guys get another row of ribbons, and it's all good.
But, as they say, "everyone wants to be captain, until there's captain stuff to do".
The coupists did not think of a situation where only the commander-in-chief could issue certain orders, or when his authority was necessary to break a tie in the upper echelons about what to do next.
They are functioning without a commander in chief, and with a barely competent SECDEF, and there may well be combat commanders and colonels whose view of the coup was "I will go this far with you, but no further".
Maybe Milley will take orders from Harris or Jill Biden or Valerie Jarrett while Biden is alive, but other men with guns may not be so sure.
I do not believe our armed forces have ever been put in the situation that now obtains, where they is no functional person with authority at the top of the chain of command.
If we are lucky, Biden will resign or be removed in a week or less, but after that, or if he is permitted to stay, military affairs will become increasingly problematic.
That’s what happens when you put someone in charge who does NOT know what their doing!
Yes. biden came to an agreement with the taliban/chicoms to turn the country over to them, plus munitions, plus some American citizens, give or take 15,000 or so.
biden now has to go along with his agreement, or the story about hunter will hit the press the next day.
China, Russia and the Islamic terrorists are building mighty military fighting machines.
Meanwhile our insane political and military leaders are turning the USA military into an army of feminized idiots.
Yeah, all these gutless pretentious, tough guy generals are prancing around and quivering in their safe spaces like little girls. It’s pathetic.
