I have never been to Af-Pak, and never served in the military. But I can look at a topographic map.

When the US gave up Bagram Airbase, it was locked into defending the tiny, densely populated geographic basin surrounded by mountains called “Kabul.”

Like the French at Dien Bien Phu - “seize the low ground!”

but I’m not a tranny, BIPOC, or a experienced Fed.gov Neo-Marxist, so I am unqualified to offer opinions to the US State Department or Pentagon.

We needed 20k troops plus a lot of planes and drones for the evacuation. Needed Bagram Airbase.

When the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan, they did that by leaving in force.

Our recruiting is down because our leadership is $#it.

We call these actions by the Biden Military command a “Cluster Fvck” it was the dumbest actions taken by the military high command since Vietnam. Joe they tried to blame it all on Trump after the failure.
