We spent twenty years and over a trillion dollars to build up the Aghan military and state and it collapsed in eleven days. The blame for this is being laid at Biden's feet but in reality it points to incompetence and poor thinking throughout the defense and foreign policy establishment over the course of decades. Biden is paying for the leadership failures of those who came before him. Both Obama and Trump came into office wanting to get out of Afghanistan but failed to do so, probably because they were told it would look something like this. So we are now paying the price for their cowardice.

Maybe my memory is bad, but I seem to remember Joe being vice president for 8 of those years.

And then you added this to your third sentence “ he's also an excellent example why troops are troops.”
troops are troops and generals are generals because one leads in war and the other follows orders.
O'Neill is just a soldier who left the service and then went around running his mouth to make as much money as he could. Notice how all his fellow service members don't substantiate his claims and remain silent.
I wouldn't be taking his opinion on how leaders should react seriously. He's probably just looking to score some more speaking fees.
Condolences to the killed U.S. servicemen families.
Anyone who supports the murderer Joe Biden feels the same way Joe does, screw those killed. Be honest.
