I can't say I'm surprised that this is all happening. Right now I'm just sad and frustrated.

1. None of use vetran"s that habe had anything to do with any conflict in the middle east before 9/11 thought that the US would be in and out in the first or second gf war. They are fanatic's in the middle east and think biblical and nothing else! As the bible has a new testament, in the middle east, few have update the old biblical law's! Yiu can't change them unless you want to be there for ever! Whi what's thay? It deffinently would not be like Korea because thw Taliban would never give up period! The taliban is an all neq beast that hides amongst the peoples! As much as they are cowards, they know that america does not have the stomach for high collatral damage body count! So where foes that leave us the USA, because it's not about anyone of us, it's about each and everyone of us US citizen's! They want us all dead! Question do we leave them alone, knowing that they will bring it to our shores or do we as as nation come together and really be ok with unlishing our millatry on our enemy and stop worrying about what the world is going to say! It's heavy, but that's what serving is, heavy! Unlish the beast without constants, problem will be solved! Unlish the beast with constants and you got 20 years of wasted young american lives! Hey you deside!

We should have demanded their president create a non-volunteer Afgan military (serve 3 years) to build up a huge army so what they lake in fighting skills, they would make up in size.

Seeing all this unfold brings be back to watching the same thing happen in Iraq not that long ago.. I helped train Iraqi police officers on how to be the support for their community and a few months after we left they turned their guns over to ISIS..
it’s a tough time and it really does make me feel worse for my brothers that didn’t make it home, but I will never feel bad or regretful for my service and my time spent there.
This is not on us, we had to give them back the keys to their home at some point, and unfortunately they couldn’t handle it..

We live in the greatest country (USA) BUT because of our form of government, who ever is in charge in Washington DC at any given time has not kept Treaties produced by some other years government. Just ask any American Indian Tribe. I pointed this out to my friends in Vietnam, Croasia, Mexico, ECT. The second issue (beside not having any honor in Washington DC Government) non of the officials in Washington DC have read what Thomas Jefferson wrote about Islam nor bother to find out why all Marines he sent in to fight Islam had to read the Quran. Sorry I lost my spell checker in 2020 after 57 years.

Partisan politics aside, everyone inside the Washington D.C. Beltway has always believed that the entire universe revolves around them and that they are in charge of said universe.

I am completely frustrated over this.

This is another Vietnam, Fall of Saigon! We know that YES,Trump had downsized our COMBAT FORCES to 2,500, there was a complete withdrawal plan in place.

Lying Joe Biden said today, that "this collapse is all the fault of the previous administration! Trump had no plans for the withdrawal!" HOWEVER, we KNOW this is not true.

Even our "woke" military leaders told Biden not to proceed. Leave the numbers at 2,500 and get back to the Table. Extend if need be.

What is wrong with our Military Leaders? The have the Constitutional right to step in, place the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, Several sitting Representatives, President of the Senate, Schumer and other sitting Senators, for Sedition, Treason, High Treason, Grand Larceny against the United States, Fraud to include, Postal, Telephone, Internet, and Television against the United States. This to hold them while they supervise a complete 50 State, 2+ Teratories forensic audit of the 2020 Election.

In the meantime, they also take Justice John Roberts into Custody for the same charges and additional due to his position. None of these people will have outside or even visitations from each other.

There cells will contain a single Sleeping pad on a cement slab, a toilet, a sink and shower, a table with two chairs (for when their Attorneys are allowed to visit.

IF the audit PROVES BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT, that Trump won, they will Temporarily reinstall him under the Constitution and guidance of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They will select a new Justice, all other Justices will then have to be resworn under the Constitution, by the head of the Joint Chiefs, once that is done, Trump will be resworn by the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. His Vice President would also be sworn.

President Trump will be eligible to run for 2024.

If the gutless Military Leaders, would TRULY WAKE UP, even with this loser in the Whitehouse!

They use the original SHOCK and AWE, HOWEVER after all civilians are relocated to a safe shelter; ready to move back home within 72 hours.

With all civilians particularly the kids and elderly, the President currently in hiding safe, we go in three four M.O.A.B.s, Thousands of Stingers, with 2,000 Heavily armed Soldiers following right behind taking prisoner ANYONE on the Streets. After 48 hours, US Army Corps of Engineers enter each city, and get their Infrastructure in place - at least for the new Government to take hold.

We would need to commit 2,500 of the highest trained combat forces, as would Isreal, Jordan, the UK, France, and other ALLY Nations. These forces will be Units of a blend of all nations present, so not all Americans, not all UK, not all Israeli etc.

On top of this we and our Allies will do support their building and structure their Government.

Work where each Tribes Teratories are States, with a basic CONSTITUTION but each state in many ways maintaining their current structure, and slowly adopt true democracy. We give them 24 months with trained negotiaters, trained instructors. We pull out completely, with an ENLARGED EMBASSY and more assets assigned but our Military concentrating on Strategies against Russia and China.

If our military would just read the law in the UCMJ - Uniform Code of Military Justice, as well as the US Constitution, this could be a real thing.

Oh! so there is no showing of Bias, IF, FOR SOME BIZARE REASON, we find no mass fraud, etc. and Mr. Biden is named the winner, he will remain behind bars with his VP our Interm President and the Speaker behind bars, making next in line VP.

TSgt Ann Smith this true, but He is no longer in charge and has not been for Seven months.

I have not heard it yet but I understand Keliann read the Trump plan for withdrawal. Everyone knew that the Government that had been set up would not hold up on an overnight pull out. From Trump's withdrawal and his negotiating skills by the end of the year Afghanistan would basically be a nation of States. States laws top for most crimes, however there would be some that it is for the betterment of the nation the united government would take the lead.

CPO James Barnhart yes, but it does give one a sense of accomplishment for those that did so much over there.

I hope we don't get out on Aug 31, so ..ish can start up again. So we can fight and take back our ..ish. It's the only way to restart the clock. I don't want bloodshed but they just handed us our azzes for eternity. There will be no way for us to go back there if we need to in the future. We should have always kept an army base there. One of the Taliban will be the new president and you thought Osama was dangerous and corrupt! His own people finally overthrew him, but that will NEVER happen with Taliban, Al-Qaida, ISIS, ect. We should have NEVER bargained with them and once they take the airport , we can forget it. Man.. just put ME in charge geezz!

While I am saddened that the Taliban will take over and that there may be horrible atrocities committed, I think it is time to go. This war, like Vietnam, has served only to reward the military industrial complex. Corporations and politicians have gotten rich on the backs of our military.
