  1.  @CaliforniaCousin420  I have spent the last twenty years of my life trying to kill every terrorist my government told me to, and while I never served in Afghanistan I served operationally in several other theatres. Two mates who served in Afghanistan both took their own lives, a wounded nephew who will never be the same, the capitulation in Afghanistan is like a knife through my heart.

  2. Trump signed the deal in Doha back in early 2020. Biden just implemented it. They are both equally to blame.

  3.  @Wraxieus  That's right Trump had a complete withdrawal of Troops by May, Biden delayed it by 4 months. You are in deluded world. Trump did the deal and it was a crap deal and Biden has eaten that sandwich. You are so blinded by your political bias you are unable to argue coherently.

  4.  @sandrablake2362  The US military withdrew so skilfully nobody realised they had gone and I might add without a single casualty. Trump signed the deal with the Taliban which obviously we now know was a rubbish deal, that Biden had to eat. Trump is to blame as much as Biden, but your political bias makes you blind to any sensible debate.

  5.  @JIMDEZWAV  Not sure why you are yelling, but the deal to withdraw from Afghanistan was signed by Trump, I'm not letting the current administration off the hook, but this is a failure of US foreign policy by both the Trump Republicans and Biden Democrats. To just blame Biden is unbelievable naive and childish in thinking.

  6. @NicholasFerrante That's exactly what I said.

  7.  @garyedwards5345  A pointless vacuous comment from a completely biased political position with no knowledge of 20 years of US foreign policy in Afghanistan.

  8.  @garyedwards5345  Put a time line on it. How much longer would you decide to stay?

  9.  @garyedwards5345  Forgive me for being a bit snarky but 35 of soldiering does that to you. You should be President, because your plan is a lot better than the idiotic one Trump came up with and the clear lack of one by Biden.
