I expect over the next few or more news cycles there will be quite a bit of finger pointing, carping, moaning, and whatnot, all directed at President Biden and his administration, with a librul (pun intentional) helping of Democrats in disarray "analysis."
Fuck 'em all.
The war was lost the day it was started, and if there IS any actual concern for translators or other support staff, women, etc., then we should have organized an evacuation -- and accepted emigrants and refugees -- the minute an agreement was reached about the withdrawal of forces.
But Afghanistan, Iraq, or even the alleged War on Terror isn't about any of that. Al Qaeda, Saddam Hussein, ISIS, and so on, are proxies.
They'll take any blood, but they're really gunning for those they define as domestic enemies.
This isn't real good.
Have as nice a weekend as you can.
