This is how the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan was triggered. On November 9, 2020, after Trump knew he lost the election he signed a memo ordering all troops out of all combat zones with zero regard for safety, consequences or impact on our nation.
His desperate earlier attempt on February 29, 2020 to completely surrender to the Taliban had been slow rolled and ignored due to the potential nightmare of the total collapse of Afghanistan. Which happened. state.gov/wp-content/upl…
All American surrenders to an enemy force have been ugly. The Civil War, The Philippines, Battle of the Bulge etc. I am baffled why we are not blaming Trump squarely for his surrender of Americans to a rag tag group of rebels the most disastrous surrender in our history.
