idiot. Trump didnt have any servicemen killed during the draw down, and he didn't evacuate.
If he did he would have used Bagram instead of the Idiot Biden making everyone go thru Kabul

yeah he decided to a gradual exit by allowing the Taliban to run various provinces and agreed to free 5,000 Taliban fighters in the deal.......you know, the deal he made before he released the 5,000 Taliban fighters?
fuck off comrade
Exactly, why did t he start evacuating people while he still had 15,000 troops there and before releasing the prisoners.

History will mark Aug. 15, 2021, as the date that the Afghan government collapsed and the Taliban retook control over this troubled and war-torn country. But the real date that the Taliban’s victory was assured is Feb. 29, 2020, the day the Trump administration signed what it characterized as a “peace” deal with the Taliban. Once this agreement was signed — the tragic collapse we witnessed this weekend was inevitable.
Of course, the agreement was not, and could not possibly have been, a “peace” deal since one of the parties currently at war — the Afghan government — was not a signatory. Rather, this was a “withdrawal” agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban that set the terms for the complete departure of American troops from Afghanistan by May 2021.
What did the United States gain in exchange for this withdrawal, for which the Taliban had been fighting for 20 years? Nothing but vague, unenforceable promises that the Taliban would not engage in hostilities against the departing U.S. troops and would “send a clear message” to al Qaeda that it “had no place” in Afghanistan. So eager Trump was to withdraw, we did not even hold out for a clear, firm commitment that the Taliban would not provide aid, safe harbor or weaponry to al Qaeda and like-minded groups. The agreement contained no enforcement mechanisms and included no penalties on the Taliban for failing to comply with its terms.
Once the agreement was signed, the fate of the Afghan government was signed, sealed and delivered — the Taliban had practically won the war. There was no way that the government could possibly survive.
The fact that the United States entered into negotiations and then an agreement with the Taliban, without even inviting the Afghan government to the table, undercut the power and legitimacy of the government. The citizenry, including those in the national armed services and police, could plainly see that its own government was being ignored, a helpless bystander in critical discussions about the country’s future. After we had cut the legs out from under this government and rendered it a paper tiger, it is no wonder that when those serving in the Afghan army and police were asked to fight, most said, “No, thanks.”

The Blood is on W's hand and those who elected him and reelected him.
MAGA MAN
Let's go Brandon!
But Bush!
Kabul to Bagram is an hour away. Dumbasses think it would have been more secure to evacuate from there. If people are having difficulties getting to the airport in Kabul, can you imagine the difficulty getting from Kabul to Bagram?
Indeed!
BEcause he knew this was likely to happen. Biden is making sure no more Americans have to be killed for W's and his people's mistake.
Many of you should be ashamed.
Trump isn’t even raising money for one.

You still here acting stupid, does your shame have no bounds?
Biden is president and he said that the buck stops here.
What he really meant was the buck stops at the door to the Oval Office.
