I believe you are letting your partisanship get in the way of common sense. Estimates are about two hundred Americans were left, some staying by choice. Every member of the Afghan special forces and their families were flown out, interesting story about how it happened. An aged 727, solid white, registered in Kenya, privately owned and operated, was contracted to fly multiple flights to get those special forces out.
But my point has been directed to these obscene numbers concerning equipment left behind. You can't claim every single gun, hell, every single bullet, that was ever furnished to the Afghan army was never used, nothing was ever lost or destroyed, nothing broke down, nothing was blown up, no vehicles were wrecked, or even stolen and shipped out of the country. Nope, the Afghan army never used any of it. They just piled it all up in a warehouse and dutifully turned it over to the Taliban. I mean believing that shit, those numbers, is the first level of insanity.
But the second, and even greater level of insanity, is the belief that American forces would leave equipment in working order behind for the Taliban to seize. I mean it as if you fools actually believe Biden ordered his generals to leave it behind. And more telling, you fools believe that those generals would follow those orders if they were handed down. To answer your question, no, I did not serve. But I know "Duty, Honor, Country", and you will note, "Country" is last in line. Those generals would no more have followed that order than they would follow an order from Trump to prevent him from leaving office. And yeah, some of you fools actually believe that could have happened. Delusional, absolutely delusional.
