Well it didn’t help things much when the US cancelled the aircraft maintenance with the third party contractor and withdrew all intelligence as they pulled out. Effectively taking away the air support and eyes on enemy activity.
When you do plans in the military, and I have been in on many of them, you plan for all contingencies. The early failure of the Afghan army should have been one of the items considered, along with other low probability but existential contingencies - sandstorms, airfield attacks (did Milley have a plan if a mortar attack shut down the single runway at Kabul airport?)
Do you think these incompetent woke four stars have a plan if China or North Korea launched an EMP nuclear attack tomorrow knowing a senile demented Biden would not have a clue on how to respond?
We are in serious trouble. Believe it or not, but over the next three years Afghanistan will turn out to be the least of our problems.
Even as a demagogue, he's incompetent.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
