made earlier by other doctors, and perhaps by the patient.
It's a disastrous situation that no one would choose, if there were good options.
And no matter how bad the mistakes made earlier, many will try to blame the person who had to make that final decision.
But let's not fall into that trap.

Bidens job is to protect Americans including US troops. Lets not forget that. Its never a mistake to get out of a foreign war, it is always a mistake to start one. Biden did the right thing and I continue to support his decision.
