The mental gymnastics from some on the Right that see this retreat as an embarrassment that weakens America when they supported an insurrection at the Capitol is a perfect 10. 

There are no mental gymnastics necessary to see that the way in which we are withdrawing from Afghanistan is an embarrassment that weakens this country. Nobody who posts in this forum supported any insurrection. There was no insurrection. Nobody was charged with participating in an insurrection. Once again, the biggest liar in the history of BGR does what he does best - lie - and you are a very bad liar who gets caught almost every day that you post here.

Desperate Afghan civilians that helped us fight the war died yesterday as they tried to hang on to airplanes as they took off from the airport. Considering the many Afghan civilians who are not likely to be rescued from their fate will die painful deaths, this botched withdrawal will make it much harder for the U.S. to recruit local citizens as translators and other support positions in the next just war that this nation fights.

This was a just war. In my opinion, the time is long overdue for the U.S. to stop nation-building and adopt a doctrine that our military will only build the infrastructure necessary to win future wars. The U.S. should have destroyed the Taliban and al Qaeda's training facilities and every bridge, airport, military vehicle, and weapon in the country and left the expense and effort of rebuilding to the Afghan government.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan should be deeply embarrassing to every decent American citizen. Joe Biden has emerged as an even bigger laughingstock than he was before he left for vacation.

Quooter you still support the guy who lead the Insurrection in fact you still support that guy. You talk about embarrassing America the attempted Insurrection on January 6th is a hell of a lot embarrassing than what's going on in Afghanistan tell you that.
After 20 years time to leave.
