To all saying "He had to do it this way" please explain why he was literally at Camp David on VACATION while doing this highly thought out military maneuver? Do you expect anybody with brain matter to believe this? Come on man!

[sleeplessvirus]

45000 members of the Afghan security forces have died fighting for their country over the past seven years, to say they won’t fight is disgraceful.

I think in general most people agree that we needed to leave, but isn’t the question and concerns based on how Biden did it? The lack of intelligence, lack of support? Now he’s sending in more troops? What is this madness?

[smyersfishingadventures]

Saigon 2.0. Except Saigon, 100, 000 people were evacuated in a month and it took months to fall. Kabul fell in 1 day, and we have only gotten out 2500 people in a month. I am pretty sure this is what winning looks like under Geriatric Joe.

Invoke the 25th Amendment and remove the criminal from office. He didn't earn it anyway

[Rob-zrwb]

The “Big Guy” has proven to be about as sharp as a marble.

This is actually the first thing that I support that Biden has done. Trump was in the process of bringing our troops home and Biden is continuing to do so. America doesn't need to be helping other countries in their affairs...they need to take care of their own problems instead of making our troops suffer for their issues.

[crankybuzzard]

Better not even think of taking our guns we may well REALLY need them!!!

[jaimejimenez]

Bro why did I vote for this dude🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[BlotRorschach]

You think we're being harsh now. Wait until you see the history books.

[grandmaster]

Need to evacuate the journalists, translators, employees and others who worked for the US and now trying to flee the country. Don't abandon them. Before the Taliban starts their killing fields.

[tommygun]

Joe must resign now us Americans want trump back in office.

[Albo-bot]

Afghan citizens literally clinging to US planes to escape the country, yet a well-equipped army of 300, 000 cannot muster up the courage to fight a force of 70, 000 Taliban for more than a week 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe they weren’t that interested in democracy after all

[NobleWolf.]

The babysitting is over! If you want freedom, then fight for it! We can't babysit for ever. The child has to grow up at some point. Time for our troops to come home and create a life for themselves.

[johnlawrey]

I agree. He should withdraw from the WH immediately.

[PLJ-]

IMPEACH. RESIGN! Your best job going forward would be a Walmart greeter! And I would never wish that on Walmart!

[SlobArt]

This is your reminder that thousands of Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan.

[JohnDoe-]

Disappointing the American people once more: thanks for nothing Joe.

[adohmnail]

Well he would have withdrawn faster if it collapsed faster....lol...progressive logic and reasoning.

[quagmyer]

I’m a Republican, and I couldn’t agree more with this.
