Richard Engel starts by saying he isn't going to get into the blame game, and then proceeds
to blame trump and Biden
Saying no Americans were killed for two years until the evacuation, is a grossly unfair assessment
Saying that the Afghans didn’t believe it would happen when trump made the deal, and didn’t believe it when Biden implemented it
This morning Lucas Kunce a retired marine major running for Senate as a Democrat in Missouri on Bloomberg who fought in both Afghanistan and Iraq is against extending the deadline
He points out the same people calling for an extension are the same people who kept us there twenty years
They are people who staked their reputations on Afghanistan, got huge political donations, and were making a lot of money on Afghanistan
He said when I hear people say just one more month, one more year, he thinks one more marine, and I am sorry, you had your 20 years, 2500 American service members, and your 2.3 trillion dollars to build something up, and instead what you built up collapsed in just two weeks
and he went on to say anyone who served in Afghanistan like myself, could tell you they saw the Taliban taking over was inevitable
