have also added well needed balance. Everyone else I’ve seen, just ridiculous. Watching Lawrence now, “if this is the first time you have seen people left behind in war, think about it the next time you want to go to war”
He just described the evacuation going on now as very efficient. He said there is no order in war. He’s talking about the media. Talking about all the people thinking they had better ideas. Hopefully MSNBC puts it up soon. That rant was epic!

Both from that he experienced personally, and from those he knew and worked for who experienced it before him.

The most bloodless and orderly conclusion to a major war in history. I know that's quite a statement but I stand behind it.

Not all of our Afghan allies will get out but a lot will. As long as we get our citizens out and our troops aren't harmed I deem this a major success for Biden and would love to discuss this with anyone that think I'm wrong.
