We were failed by 20 years worth of general officers. There needs to be an accounting. No matter what dumbf*** calls Joe Biden made, the military had an obligation to anticipate, do better, and not blame Biden for them screwing the pooch as they did in the past 72 hours.

Anyone with 4-stars resign yet this weekend?

I distinctly remember all the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes abt reducing a footprint in Syria a few years ago ... norms and all.

Anyone? Did I miss something?

something that not too many people know about........and might explain why we wasted so much there.

Afghanistan is thought to have about 1 trillion worth of lithium and other rare metals.

Now that we are leaving, will be interesting to watch how involved China becomes. //

Yah, that's why we were there for 20 years and never took out billions in rare minerals.

Cuz we stayed there to get them.
