Nice to hear from a higher up 'in the know' marine officer.

Other then it's a 'Shit show'.

You want the cliff notes?

He's got some insights on how it all went so wrong.
How money and budget whittle away at the plan til it's unrecognizable.

I'm STILL amazed at all the dumbasses that WEREN'T expecting anything other than an absolute total shit show when the US finally pulled out of Afghanistan.

If you are shocked, surprised, or suffering from manufactured "outrage" in any way....you're a fool. What is happening is pretty much exactly what was always said is going to happen. HUGE part of the reason tRump set the date for the next president to deal with. If he had gotten re-elected...he would have found a reason not to pull out so he could dump it on the next guy.

So are you amazed if I tell you that the UK Parliment is holding Biden in contempt?

White House be scrambling right now. Joe is a total fuckup.

Who's the dumbass?

This thing could have gone way different.
