So, there was a lot of factors. After Bush took the country, he had the opportunity to build up the military but decided to work on infrastructure. This allowed the taliban to build strength safely in pakistan (taliban ally) and come back harder than before. So after Bush passed the problem to Obama he tried to take it with a military surge, but the Taliban were too entrenched for a permanent victory. After Obama, Trump decided to leave and made a deal with the Taliban (you know, the guys that trained the 9/11 hijackers). Biden had to follow that deal. It's been a cluster since day 1, but it really isn't Trump/Biden/Obama's fault. They were just following an already bad plan by Bush.
The Taliban were not too entrenched for Obama era soldiers to deal with them. Obama simply didn't let them.
Trump's deal had a timeline, that Biden broke, and conditions, that Biden failed to hold to, and repercussions, that Biden is entirely failing to enforce.
Nobody is saying that Biden is wrong to leave Afghanistan. But he's got no excuse for this blunder.
He broke Trump's plans, and absolutely failed to make any kind of replacement plan or contingency.
The fucking BRITS are going door to door and rescuing anyone allied with them. While political sycophants are so busy trying to tongue Biden's sack that Americans are being left, abandoned, and forgotten by Biden.
This isn't on Bush, it ain't on Obama, it sure as fuck ain't on Trump after Biden deliberately dismantled his plan, this is all Biden and his failed administration.
Having been a soldier who deployed to Afghanistan during the Obama era we totally could have cleaned house in most cases. But what we could do versus what we were allow to do was a whole other story. Our hands were tied. So much so that in some AOs they couldn't even return fire. It was so frustrating to know when and where a bad guy was going to be and then have nothing happen. Honestly, I feel really bad for the locals too. Most of them just want to get on with their lives and those cocksucking terrorists would come in and run roughshod over them. Rape, extortion, threats and acts of extreme violence perpetrated on their families all because some douchbag wants power over others.
so, as a soldier, explain to me how you would have invaded pakistan to stamp out the source of the taliban under obama. Bear in mind pakistan is a nuclear state.
Economic sanction and consider expulsion from NATO.
Push them monetarily and on every forum until they either clean up their mess, or openly throw their lot in with terrorists. The priority is to make opportunism not worth it, to squeeze them until they get right or out themselves as the enemy.
