Hooter is desperate to hang the entirety of this on Biden, but it’s not that simple.

Getting them out is Biden’s responsibility.

Did you not previously explain that getting out of Afghanistan is each individual's responsibility? Yes, I believe you did argue that it was the responsibility of companies to get their own employees out of Afghanistan. I am glad to see your position has evolved to the correct position.

However, the responsibility for the entire mess belongs to Biden. He could have increased our troop levels or even declared the Taliban in violation of the agreement that they sign, torn up the agreement, and brought the Taliban back to the table through military force.

I absolutely did. My point is why were they still there, and being there they had to know the danger. Kind of like those that chose not get vaccinated or wear a mask. 

 But if Biden is going to commit to getting everybody out, it’s his baby.  

I figured you would support restarting the war.

You really don't seem to understand what a federal contractor is. If private contractors are still in Afghanistan, then they are there because the terms of their contract require them to be there. Employees of companies holding federal contracts may resign their jobs and leave but if they want to keep their jobs, then they go and stay when they are told by their employers. The employers respond to the orders of the federal government, provided those orders are consistent with their contract.

"Private contractor" is not synonymous with "free agents" answering to no one. Your analogy is absolutely idiotic.

I said if the federal govt has you there by order they should get you out. 

But ultimately if you are a US civilian you are responsible for your safety.  If your job is going to put you in danger then you should quit and get a job that is safer.  Right, Hooter?
