What are your feelings as the Taliban reclaim Afghanistan after 20 years of US involvement?

This saddens me, proud of all of you who served in Afghanistan, out by God standing. What gets me is the Commander in Chief is like the one when five of our brothers who got ambushed in Chattanooga TN, it's no big deal to them. I hope the best every girl and their family. Opt desert shield/Storm Vet.

I'm very pissed at our govt,not for getting out but taking nineteen and a half years to do it plus all the lives lost guys maimed and the countless thousands of dollars wasted that could have been spent on our own people
They. ( Govt) did not learn a darn think from nam.
Ex SGT D.I. may 66 thru may68

Reminds me of the 75 pullout from Saigon. I feel bad for the civilians left there

It reminds me of the Vietnam fiasco. The USA needs to take care of people in our own country instead of trying to control other countries.

first we pull out--now we send back--what's the plan ??

Somebody got rich off of 911 and the war ( and I do mean American!)

As many have already so articulately commented, I am frustrated by this outcome. I agree with those who have commented that regardless of our actions we would end up right where we are at this point. There just hasn’t been a good solution for an exit strategy.

There are some mixed feelings about the Tali-heads taking over the regime in Afghanistan. Personally, I’m doing alright with it. Yes, I lost brothers over there. I’ve seen families crying over the loss of their loved ones. It’s not an easy pill to swallow. They did exactly what they planned on doing since 2001, run and hide, and wait for the prime opportunity to unclench their butts and show their faces. If we can get all American personnel out of there safely, then that’s a good plan. We should never go back to that country for anything. There is not one important item we use from them. Sanction any and all funds we may or may not have been sending them and leave them to their own devices. It’s done, we have their memories of our fallen comrades. Those men and women will live forever in our hearts and stories.

Sad. All I can say.

Agreed but why didn't we cry out though when Trump promised to do the same thing by May 2021- a full upheaval- the SAME plan.
