What is occurring in Afghanistan is not surprising to most conservatives, as this crisis only confirms the corruption and ineffectiveness that dominates our foreign policy establishment and military leadership. While this crisis is far from over, there are already a number of sobering lessons that Americans have learned:
1) The “America Last” agenda of the Democrat Party remains in place. It is simply unprecedented to have American military troops extracted from a crisis before every American citizen has been evacuated so once again, American citizens are treated as if they were lepers. Even in Vietnam in 1975, the military did not leave until all citizens were evacuated.
Moreover, what’s worse is the Biden Administration is spending far more time, money, and effort evacuating Afghanis than they are Americans. They even announced that Americans are on their own to get to the airport while 5,000 troops on the ground are ordered to do nothing but seal off the airport. And at least one report says that the State Department was intending to charge all Americans $2,000 to fly them home but apparently, they changed their mind.
2) Dismantling Trump’s policies is more important than national security. We now know the Biden Administration disbanded a State Department unit called the “Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau” which was created especially to draw up plans regarding the evacuation of Americans from situations like the one we have now.
3) “Social Justice” issues are now such a high priority in the military that it has affected its effectiveness. We now know that our military spends an inordinate amount of time, money, and energy championing phony “social justice” causes, both at home and abroad. Even the gay agenda in Afghanistan apparently received more attention than developing evacuation plans:

Bidens fifty-years as a politician is littered with a litany of failures
dumbness
ignorance
brainless unforced errors,
countless flip-flops,
plagiarism,
cupidity,
mendacity
demagoguery
an overweening sense of infallibility
and egocentrism.
And still we sit and do little while their evil sears itself into permanence.
Even our own leaders seek accommodation instead of fighting everyday with few exceptions. We still cling to the belief that our vote matters and if we only vote earnestly and with conviction, all will change and be well.
We burn up our keyboards and make fiery talk when we should be out burning it down.
Me included.
My disgust and anger is reaching a peak...finally perhaps. How can we stand aside and let them win, let them steal our life and liberty from us?

The most sobering lesson is that this war, like the one in Iraq, were bad ideas. W wrapped himself in the flag and sold to the American public.
And yet, Biden is the best the democrats had to offer???
There is ONE very significant lesson. I sure hope the military Joe hung out to dry in A’stan is not the same military he plans to sic on US citizens, when he tries another election fraud!
Too early for lessons of the Afghanistan withdrawal as it is still happening. Those would be preliminary lessons.
Biden is not running the show. He was the best puppet deep state wanted to put forward.
