SSgt Michael Anderson I watched as the caskets were removed from the plane. Biden didn’t salute, he put his hand over his heart and I saw him check his watch. My statement may have been ‘broad’ based upon what other presidents have done; however it’s just my opinion and you don’t have to agree with it. SSgt Michael Anderson

What @1SG Mark Gomez fails to grasp, let alone address is the fact that, while he blasts Trumps and apologizes for Biden.... Trump did not cause any service members deaths, Biden DID. Biden's stupidity directly resulted in the deaths of 13 service men and women as he not just upped the withdrawal time but gave no clear leadership for that withdrawal or the transfer of power. Which resulted in not just a huge loss of life but in an enemy acquiring OUR weapons of war that they will then turn around and use on us.

I would have been happier if the exit from Afghanistan had been better organized, with much less loss of life! I haven't read any details about how this was planned out. Was this planning all due to Biden, or was it based on guidance that he might have received from his military advisers? The exit from Afghanistan had to happen--I think that it should have started after the death of Bin Laden... Here is an interesting "Fact Check" article that I found: https://www.factcheck.org/2021/08/timeline-of-u-s-withdrawal-from-afghanistan/

Sgt Jordan Foster - And still he screws the pooch on the withdrawal. There used to be this thing where a competent command in chief would review plans before implementing them. You know, check to make sure that things like civilians that were in country were able to get out first... then withdraw the military forces that were the back door guarding them. But I guess Biden never learned that lesson.

There is a saying First in, last out. Had Biden paid attention, and you know, done his done and extended things properly... we would not be in the mess we are in now.

What is important is that the president was there and met with the families that wanted to meet. Anger is a perfectly acceptable emotion when dealing with the loss of a loved one. The far right tweeted out lies before the remains even arrived. Let's just honor the fallen shall we.

Well, this Administration doesn't quite understand the term "Leave No Man Behind" We don't leave our brothers and sisters behind. The upper echelons weren't listening to the ground commanders. It was and continues to be a clusterfuck over there. The one thing that that is always a constant is politics kills people.

My fury at this shit show is non-partisan. Sounds like there are plenty of people who agree in the WH.
For what it is worth, I think that this situation went from bad to worse largely due to many of the principals being on vacation while the TB was rolling up the Ring Road. Once they entered Kabul, the best you could do was salvage the situation as best you could.
