The U.S. military’s killing of Afghan children
Another point of contention surrounds the horrifically bad call on the part of the U.S. military to drone-strike a vehicle that turned out to contain only innocent civilians.
Left behind
Among those whose biometrics were left behind were Afghan Counterterrorism Pursuit Teams or CTPTs.
“[The U.S.] trained and used 30,000 of them and their families,” says a source.
As for the regular Afghan National Army (ANA) that quickly folded when the Taliban moved in: “They hadn’t been paid in a year,” says a source.
Although U.S. taxpayers have generously funded the ANA soldiers over two decades, multiple sources say there is so much corruption among the Afghan leadership that the money often didn’t make it to the fighting forces.
Residual damage
In the wake of the scandal, operators in other countries that assist the U.S. are said to be worried and skeptical.
“The [CIA] Director came to Afghanistan for talks with two of the top ten Most Wanted Taliban that we tried to kill for the past 20 years,” says one. “Other countries are asking, ‘Why would we help you?’”
That includes Kurds asked to help the U.S. in Northern Iraq. “Are we going to be like Afghanistan?” one source says the Kurds are asking.
As a result, Iran and Russia are able to get a new foothold in places where they’d been kept at bay.
U.S. leadership
Also thrown into question, according to numerous sources, is confidence in U.S. leadership.
“Now I know how [the last generation] felt about Vietnam,” says one source. “America has suffered Pearl Harbor, 9/11, the Saigon pullout and now, my generation, Afghanistan."
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley recently told Congress that the Afghanistan withdrawal was “a logistical success but a strategic failure.”

How exactly was it a logistical success with 82 billion
dollars worth of equipment left behind?
We’re not allowed to know how bad things are. The government keeps everything secret from its citizens and taxpayers.
This government clamps the lid of secrecy on everything. That way citizens and taxpayers can’t see the ineptitude, failures and corruption.
She wrote this even after Jen Psaki told us all the White House believes some people want to stay there and are being allowed to remain in the country./S
The dating scene, nightlife, tourist attractions, goat entree restaurants and shopping are big draws over there. Unless you get kidnapped, tortured and hanged in public. Then, maybe not so good.

**************
You’re looking at this the wrong way. Losing this much equipment means most of it will have to be replaced (i.e., purchased again) which will benefit the MIC and lead to lucrative contracts. The companies receiving the contracts will be enriched to the point where they can pay retired generals very high salaries.
Follow the money. It always explains everything.
I think when JenPsaki said they were hanging in there she meant something entirely different.
The biometrics left behind:
“ The biometrics files were quickly collected by the Islamic extremist Taliban.
What did the Taliban do with it?
According to information, the Taliban sent spoof emails, pretending that the emails were generated by the U.S. State Department, instructing the Afghans to report to “safe houses.”
When the Afghans arrived at the fake “safe houses,” the Taliban executed them.”
Good gawd.
Any “normal or decent” person doing what this biden cartel has done could never show their face in public again after what these criminals did. I know it wasn’t incompetence; it was done this way on purpose to hurt America.
Every. Single. One. Should. Swing.
Of course certainly catastrophic….but all is a-ok per propaganda outlets…
Thoroughly modern Milley is another Baghdad Bob; he should be removed Now! Our Congress is also full of Baghdad Bobs and Bobbies...who are proving to be an embarrassment for the Left...VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE!

Thus creating the 4th largest army on the planet,, a TaliBiden created terrorist talibon army.
This was aiding and abetting and arming with modern gear a terrorist army by Mattis, Milley and TaliBiden,,aka treason.
