John, we had 20 years to plan a decent exit. To me Biden showed an indifference as to how this was to be done and simply followed a popular sentiment of "Let's just get the hell out of there" with no compassion for the Afghan people -- even ones helping us.

I recall when going into Afghanistan the American population was overwhemingly gung ho to "kick some arse" in retaliation for 9/11. Better if it han been seen and treated as a criminal act (admittedly a big and horrendous one) rather than a war of terror. Easy to say now of course.
