    If we still need 2500 after 20 years, that tells me we can never leave

    A couple of things came to mind as I read that. Trump was famous for saying "I don't know", or "I can't recall". In fact, he used those terms 36 times in reference to the Mueller investigation. The other thing is how odd it is that you're believing Milley now that it suits you - I thought he was a treasonous scoundrel.

    Well that's not exactly what Biden said, he said no no not they did not that I recall, and now we know from the Sect of Defense confirmed at least 3 generals recommended leaving troops. Either Biden is brain dead or he's a chicken s$*^ that made a decision and blaming others.

    so Milley is lying under oath?
    or is Milley telling the truth and Biden cant recall?
    now if you want to go with the cant recall cop out
    do you really want a Commander in Chief not recalling an important statement of recommending leaving 2500 troops in a foreign country under attack a country with a large American civilian presence

    maybe leave the 2500 troops so Kabul wouldn't be taken by the Taliban with a dozen motorcycles not before we were able to evacuate all Americans and allies so 13 troops and countless afghans wouldn't have lost their lives and hundreds if not thousands left behind

    When was Trump part of the military? Every time a democrat can't defend what his side does, he deflects to Trump. It is nearly automatic.

    Dems do not care about truth, they are absolutely ok with lying as long as it’s them doing it. No one lies more than dems.

    not all, but a rapidly growing number and virtually all in positions of govt power

    dems continue to yell success despite the objective and horrendous failures that have occurred. The sheer number of screw ups by this administration in under 1 year. It’s gonna be a hard 4 years for Americans under reckless racist joe .

    So Biden got out of Afghanistan because Trump and his supporters wanted that?

    That's some desperate spinning.

    He very well may not be who the people selected. Turn out was the highest by far, ever, in a presidential election. Election security measures were widely suspended, and there were more ballots than ever with just the President voted and no other race. Could be the work of crooked local officials and high speed copy machines. It's very difficult to believe that Americans would elect someone this stunningly stupid to our highest office. The man is magnetically drawn to the worst possible decision, seemingly, for every situation placed before him. Obama said it well: "Never underestimate Joe's ability to **** things up." That was cute while he was relatively powerless, it's an unbelievable situation for our country to be in, and we are only 17% into his term and look at everything he has screwed up already.

    We can be confident that he will completely screw up everything he touches. After the 2022 elections, the GOP should be able to at least diaper him and take some measures to minimize his harm to all of us.

    Very few people wanted us to remain in Afghanistan.

    The exit could have been botched less sure, but so could the entire failed war.

    I'm not arguing against leaving my argument is how it was done
    Troops should have been the last to leave not the first
    2500 sounds about right to leave remaining to insure all American civilians and allies were evacuated and base remained open to do so
    and after that you pull out the remaining 2500

    Oh I don’t disagree.
    Biden is an idiot but we all knew that 12 years ago.

    I do know that the state department had been warning Americans to leave the area for months. They can only do so much.

    This demonstrates once again that 81 million people voted for an incompetent person to be President.

    I never stated that.

    As to why, I can only assume — if the Taliban would have started up new attacks there would have potentially been many more casualties
