4. Soundly disagree. The guys with stars on their shoulders are retired and can set the record straight on withdrawal

Trump let a bunch of bad guys go free, without consulting the government of Afghanistan. He set an arbitrary date for withdrawal without any planning for it or input from the military. He left the mess on the Resolute Desk with no hint as to how to execute his ill conceived agreement to withdraw.

Like always, he took a crap on the world and left it for others to clean up. To the retired guys with stars on their shoulders, THAT was inexcusable and it cost lives that should not have been lost. Adding more graves at ANC is a tad more awful than the self serving photo op Trump did recently. He created more widows by his hand holding with the Taliban.
