A few FACTS
1. Approx 2,400 American soldiers died in Afghanistan including during trumps presidency.
2. Cost our country approx $300 million EVERY DAY to continue.
3. Our military leadership either didn’t know — or wouldn’t say they believed the Afghan army would simply quit. It’s understandable - military doesn’t play politics .
Trump and Biden said they would end this war - and bring our troops home.
Did Biden not stage our withdrawal in the proper steps ? Data indicates the answer is yes, he did not and neither did those given responsibility to enact steps of withdrawal.
Was Biden informed the Afghan army would immediately quit ? Don’t know and not interested in the right wing disinformation now being thrown around . Just real facts. We spent a fortune equipping and training the Afghan army — and they just immediately quit.
For trump lovers this is what they want to steer attention away from the facts and legal woes of trump the lying cheating traitor .
For the rest of us, it’s a very bad example of how lousy intell, lousy planning and harsh impact on innocent people plays out.
