    Trump explains how easy it should have been to withdraw from Afghanistan.

    Biden is clearly retarded.

    Trump stated, "First you bring out all of the American citizens. Then you bring out ALL equipment. Then you bomb the bases into smithereens—AND THEN YOU BRING OUT THE MILITARY. You don’t do it in reverse order like Biden and our woke Generals did.

    No chaos, no death—they wouldn’t even know we left!"

    To be fair (lol) the equipment lost by the Afghan Forces was probably going to be a write-off because they were simply walking off when confronted by numbers and there was not proper opportunity to get that gear out. But the stuff abandoned directly by the US military to the Taliban is a serious instance of "aid and comfort to the enemy" and there had better be some reasonable answers on that or somebody will have harsh language used against them.

    This guy should have resigned yesterday, retired or whatever.

    Every word he has offered since this debacle began has harmed the US.

    A guy who had a lot of interesting things to say about generals was Lincoln. I wonder what he would say about General Milley?

  8. Yep.

    Interesting times then and now.

    Lincoln carefully considered who was best to lead the Union Army and settled on Robert E. Lee.

    He offered the position to Lee and the General replied that he "could not abandon his country."
    And by country he meant "Virginia."

    Interesting times.

    McLellan was as worthless as tits on a nun.

    Grant famously said "Sherman took care of me when I was drunk, and I took care of him when he was crazy." Which was most of the time for both of them.

    Interesting times.

    alright, I digress. or maybe it is on topic.

    McClellan is a great example that shows that someone can rise to high rank in the military and be utterly incapable of fighting.

    Austin and Milley are sad examples but there are, I think, still good officers in the military but they are being purged.
