The article states “The fall of the Afghan government and its military to the Taliban this past August can be attributed to a 2020 U.S. agreement under the Trump White House.” 

 No surprise the Biden administration claims it’s “Trumps” fault for their failures?  Do they realize that former President Trump who has been out of office for six months?  If “Trumps” plan was to be such a failure, how come those in charge at the Pentagon did not tell President Biden that Trumps plan was a recipe for disaster?  What was Biden’s alternative plan?  Easy answer to the ignorant public is to blame Trump.  That draws attention away from one of the worst retrograde operations in military history led under President Biden and his administration.  Did the Afghan army of 300,000 needed 2,500 Americans to hold their hand?  Additionally, anyone with a functioning intellect following the news reports how this city then that province in Afghanistan were falling daily into the control of the Taliban could conclude a Taliban take over was imminent.  Sorry, but it was too obvious that Afghanistan was failing into Taliban control just like in April 1975 South Vietnam fell to communist North Vietnam.   

 

The article states that “Milley, who was appointed to his position as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff by President Donald Trump and retained by Biden, said it was his responsibility to provide the commander in chief with his best advice.” 

So apparently General Milley knew of Trumps plan that General McKenzie who must have communicated with Milley about since he is publicly blaming Trump now.  So during the daily intelligence briefings what was told to President Biden?  Was Biden present?  Was Biden unwilling or unable to understand the depth of the circumstances in Afghanistan? 

 

The article states “Milley cited "a very real possibility" that al-Qaida or the Islamic State group's Afghanistan affiliate could reconstitute in Afghanistan under Taliban rule and present a terrorist threat to the United States in the next 12 to 36 months.” 

Yes General Milley, and a large donation of American military weapons to terrorists was made compliments of the cowardly Afghan army. 

 

Sad how no one wants to admit and take accountability for the fact that the 300,000 man strong Afghan army was a failure for years.  The Afghan army was populated with Taliban infiltrators, undisciplined soldiers and cowards that was evident in the final days before Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. 

 

So if the Afghan army was 300,000 strong verses the 75,000 Taliban army, the Taliban was outgunned four to one.  Sounds bad for the Taliban, so what was the Afghan army shooting at?  So how much longer after twenty years did the Afghan army and its citizens expect America and her allies to do their fighting against the Taliban?  Or were they always the Taliban?
