While it’s true that Trump stated he wanted to withdraw our troops, he made it conditional on the Taliban agreeing to civilized behaviors. They didn’t, so he continued to maintain a small footprint.
This footprint was absolutely necessary and critical for supporting the Afghan Air Force, which was necessary and critical to supporting the Afghan troops scattered throughout the country.
And while there may have been a reasonable argument to leave Afghanistan in an orderly manner, there was NO EXCUSE for Biden abandoning the country as he did it
Counter to all of his military advisors, he shut down Bagram airbase without notifying and preparing the Afghans, which left the Afghan Air Force without support and left all the remaining Americans in Afghanistan having to evacuate from Kabul.
We all know what happened. It was a humanitarian and military disaster leaving 13 American soldiers dead, and thousands of Afghanistans that worked closely with the US stranded.
