Top generals testified in front of Congress about the Biden Administration’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. We cannot forget one simple fact about this withdrawal: the death and misery resulting from our Afghanistan exit was 100% on Biden.
The military told him to keep 2,500 troops there. They told him to evacuate Americans first. Biden didn’t listen.
But we also cannot forget another simple fact many would like to ignore: those who claim we could have exited completely without this chaos are purposefully ignorant of the reality in Afghanistan.
There was no way to get to zero troops without the tragic outcome that we saw. It is tactically impossible. That is why the military recommended keeping 2,500 troops in Bagram (not to mention it is a highly strategic location with an airbase in Central Asia.)
Going to zero troops was never going to work, no matter how it was executed. That’s why Trump decided never to do it. Biden is 100% at fault.
