Believe it or not, retired or ETS military servicemembers are entitled to be political. It means they can express their political opinions and run for a political office without dumb people telling them “grunt do grunt work. Leaders lead”

Now if he is still an active duty Navy Seals and runs his mouth about a politician he doesn’t like, then you have a point.
McCain maintained his dignity. O’Neill sold out to line his pockets.

Huge difference.

Bagram was our airfield and we just handed off those prisoners to the Afghan army. Then the Taliban let them out. The Pentagon stated the number of ISIS-K prisoners at Bagram and another prison where they were released number in the thousands. Now they are out regrouping. So the Pentagon is now shifting the blame on to the Afghan Army.

2. It didnt include turning Bagram over. period.
3. You pull out all the civilians and the Afghans that would be targets.
4. you pull out the equipment
5. Then you pull out the military.

I mean this isnt rocket science. quit acting like it is .
The Taliban was invading cities and regions as soon as the peace agreement was signed, did he start pulling out equipment from the 5 military bases.

What good does Bagram do as far as evacuation, how do they get civilians from around the country to Bagram when we have no control of the countryside and the Afghan military is gone.

How do you pull out civilians after a collapse.

So what was the Trump contingency plan if the military and government dissolves in 11 days, it's not rocket science. There must be many great options. I hear he had the greatest contingency plan ever, it was fantastic, it was unbelievable.

What is your point? The Taliban released ISIS-K prisoners. The Pentagon admitted this.

Even if that is true, this means nothing.

Both are committed to the total destruction of the Great Satan, or United States.

The US is very good at shifting blame.

And it might have worked if Biden actually took over and followed it in January.
But the Senile in Chief has no clue what is going on
