Kudos to the USA's military and commercial air, to the men and women on ground, against all odds.

Kudos to President Biden and Vice President Harris and their administration, against the odds especially corporate media constant bashing, kept on target to finally end the war.

Think about that!

If we stayed in Vietnam as we did in Afghanistan, we would of been there until the 80s.

Lucky, we withdrawal over time, as the same plan we tried with Afghanistan. Differences was the South Vietnam government, fought to the very end. Afghanistan Government we trained to support themselves, threw down their freedom.

We should of been outta there YEARS AGO!

Yes we lost American lives the past week, BUT what about the countless life's lost since our objective was achieved...Bin Laden! Granted, we did need to stay for transitional defense against the tallibans, but TEN years is not reasonable! Four to five years the most.

Trump did what he did best... NOTHING!

No one line answer. What would be your plan. Tell us with at least a modicum of specificity. ( real question. Not rhetorical. )
