It’s hard to imagine the degree of fault we, the voting population, share in the loss of lives that is sure to follow our escape from Afghanistan. We are the society that allowed our minds to be indoctrinated. We refused to look at factual result in favor of thinking we were better than those other Neanderthals. At this point in time we have to face the fact that we hired a “Commander in Chief” who reeks of ineptness. Our mistaken pride in who we elected has proven itself to be a giant error.
It seems bad enough that we are in the middle of so many battles internally we now have exacerbated problems internationally as well. We have an administration making decisions for the rest of us that will affect our country’s safety and our standing among even our staunchest allies. If our country will not stand for those who have fought along- side our forces, in a twenty year conflict, whoever is to believe that we will stand for them.
The cost of this incompetence will be born in The United States in the form of shame. Not just shame in the appearance of defeat but in the justified blame for the harm and bloodshed of those Afghanis we left behind. The administration was well aware of the some thirty to eighty thousand Afghans who worked with our allies and our own forces during the last twenty years. Without any provisions for those who would be targeted by the Taliban, it was decided to escape the country in the middle of the night. There is so much wrong with that picture. That shameful image is spread across the face of our nation. How proud of that can we be.
