I think there was a political reason to leave them behind - that they have spent the last 20 years ‘levelling up’ Afghanistan, so ‘if they did their job right’ they would be safe. Furthermore there is a lot of push against ‘brown’ immigration, at least in the UK. I think there was also a security reason to leave them behind - translators etc could easily turn into double agents / recruitment / sleeper cells for the tally if they were attempted to be assimilated into the Anglosphere nations which were in Afghanistan. | |||

Something tells me we should have probably evacuated the 15,000 Americans still trapped there, and gotten the 80,000 Afghan SIV's their visa's BEFORE closing Bagram and pulling out all our troops... seems like that should have come first... It doesnt help that our State Dept has been completely defunded by the previous admin and cannot get visas and background checks done for the afghans.
I dont know but it feels like common sense to me, to not assume we would have "time" to do that later... I blame the military and civilian leadership from both the Biden and Trump administration. I think they both played a part in this debacle and both bear responsibility. Regardless of what political side of the isle you are on, the lack of planning and contingencies is unacceptable and just sad. | ||

Maybe build that wall around the USA and forget about anything outside of the wall that's not trade. Or is USA the World Police is that where my tax dollars go, policing Earth? I doubt that.

Note:
1. Fighters carrying automatic and semi-automatic weapons, not a stupid bear costume and a bunch of flags 2. Fighters toppling a government, not just taking an unauthorized tour of a building for a few hours 3. People who resisted actually tortured and murdered along the way, not just suffering a stroke due to their untreated diabetes like the officer on capital hill Take note, libtards | ||
