Remember, most if not all of those people had ample opportunity to evacuate. They refused.

I find that very hard to believe. They were left behind, as were many weapons

Biden is incompetent. I don't even like saying that, but it's pretty obvious

Realize that the two facts are not mutually exclusive.

Biden is incompetent AND many dumbasses chose to stay while he was begging them to leave over the last 3 to 6 months. Both true and not contradictory.

Big deal. I knew a guy who'd go to bed and THEN put out the light, without getting up.
He had a toy bow and arrow. He'd just shoot out the light!

Naw.......this is a true story. The guy was the brother of a friend of mine. They'd get in arguments over who got into bed last and (thus) had to turn out the light. They were both stubborn. Thus the bow/arrow came into play.

But "Shoot Out the Lights" is a classic (and extremely well written) LP.
Worth acquiring for sure.

It's funny to me how people are covering for Biden on the Afghanistan debacle, but most of what we hear and repeat is simply automatic confirmation bias. Obviously, if this had happened with Trump in office (and it didn't happen with him because his brain isn't mush), people on the Left would be calling for his removal, and rightly so.

What's more interesting than listening to your chosen echo-chamber (aka Twitter, IG, FB, MSNBC, CNN or Fox News or whatever), go find some international news outlets and see how the rest of the world is observing the Biden presidency.

If you think our stature in the world was diminished under Trump, well, people might not like obnoxious but they won't respect incompetence and weakness. Biden left some of our strategic allies with their tails hanging in the wind, and they aren't happy about it. And now we lost 13 Marines in one day after no combat deaths in the prior 18 months. It's sickening because it was unnecessary and foreseeable.

Being an arse doesn't make you a bad President, and being good ol' Uncle Joe doesn't make you a good President. Trump may have been unpolished, but you knew where he stood. And I'm sure our remaining service men and women praying they survive another two days in that hell hole would love to hear a little "America First" from the White House again.
