Not that worried about that, the staged funerals, etc. Am concerned about the various reports of people being killed, including being tracked...
All fair points, but the issue is that it seems to be messy precisely BECAUSE it was so poorly planned. The ONLY goal was getting the troops out....
Exactly. No time to be bothered by getting the people out, the equipment out, etc. This would be the equivalent of saying he got the crew off...
Hey, that only took...a few hours? What happened to all of our 'leverage'? Is it being utilized? I think it only appropriate to start throwing...
Interesting...are you, then, a Trumper? Indeed. Were you planning on correcting that in yourself anytime? Or just continue throwing out gross...
Fair enough. Ahh, but they do! All they have to do is drive to a house where our citizens, or our Afghan allies are, and start pulling the...

I would think, and suspect you would agree, that that depends completely with what happens to those we didn't get out. Most especially the...
Stereotype much?
Yes, Russell was a very good defender (Wilt was a lot better at blocking shots, though). That doesn't detract from Wilt, though; it elevates...
Wrong. Taliban is at the airport. Everybody else left. I'll accept that the Taliban is the Afghan government if you'll accept that they are who...
Yes, this was a difficult problem. We should have, I think, made much better determination of their willingness to fight. We could have kept...
Wasn't it? This is a HUGE presumption, which you need to provide more support for. Why do you think it wasn't?
