They squat on the roadside, feet filthy in broken sandals, eyes empty, faces averted. Their belongings are few. Most were abandoned on their long flight from fear. Or stolen at gunpoint by armed marauders. Comfort to these lost souls is a foreign word. Hoping seems dangerous. They try to forget sights they’ve seen. They have no idea where they’re going. The scenes you see these days on TV of refugees in Afghanistan or Syria or anywhere convulsed by war are truly awful. [Snip]
But, honestly, the terrible scenes of death and fear and children lost to families are nowhere near the truth on-site.

As long as Hunter is okay, Joe Biden doesn't give a rat's behind!

War is terrible, and has been since the first time someone picked up a stick and bashed someone else over the head with it. But - it still doesn't mean we have any obligation to bring thousands of those impacted by it here, or to spend forever garrisoning some godforsaken toilet like Afghanistan to keep the tribal barbarians from killing each other.
Trump was right to get us out. Xiden could have looked like a hero had he followed Trump's plan, instead of ditching it simply because Orange Man Bad. Now, he is responsible for every death and every atrocity, because he and his merry band of morons knew better.

I am starting to take exception to such adjectives as “heartless” and “coward” when referring to Xiden.
To me, those terms imply a level of moral character, albeit flawed and wanting.
But the character I see in Xiden is on a whole new (lower) level. In MY mind, he is approaching madness, not unlike Hitler and/or Stalin, and others.
It seems he is finding a perverse pleasure and enjoyment in controlling the unspeakable fates of so many people. That is not cowardly or heartless. That is psychopathic.

We are seeing that the supply of “refugees” in the world who would like to come to the USA is endless. If the USA were to bring every self identified foreign “refugee” who comes into contact with Americans to the USA, it would not be long before the USA would be a very different country indeed, after importing the good and the bad from every undeveloped or developing country that will also bring very different cultures into the USA in great numbers, some of them contrary to the basic tenets of the US Constitution. At the moment it is clear that the leftist and socialist Democrats are pleased as punch to bring unlimited numbers of diverse “refugees” into the USA who they believe will permanently change the politics and the future voter demographics of the country in the years ahead to the great favor of the leftist and socialist Democrats.

Afghanistan is one country in the world that can legitimately hate America after this catastrophe is over and nobody can blame them. The US Government needed them, recruited them, used them and then left them to die. They would have been better off if we had never set foot in the country.

HISTORICAL NOTE: Adm. G. Stephen Morrison, profiled in the article, was the father of the Doors' Jim Morrison.

I think the aftermath of Afghanistan will be much worse than Vietnam. The Taliban and assorted terror groups will be free to cause trouble all over the world and create new refugees for years on end.

Agree, #3...there aren't enough words in any Thesaurus to describe the depth of this man's depravity and callousness. There's a huge black hole inside him that for most of us houses a soul, keeping us incapable of such heartlessness to other human beings. This isn't a result of his age and senility, it just reveals to the world what he has always been deep down...a psychopath (well disguised for years), as you said.

I agree with #8. The North Vietnamese just wanted us out of the country in the same manner they didn't want the French there. After we left they then repelled the Chinese who tried their own occupation. Taliban, on the other hand, want us out of Afghanistan so that they can get back to business after a 20-year hiatus - that business being terrorism for fun and profit.

I am in agreement with #2 and #4. The difference no one notes between the Afghans of today and the Vietnamese in 1975 is that the Afghans neglected their obligation to defend themselves, their families and their country by stacking arms and running to the airport. Worse, the force threatening them was inferior in every way but the will to carry weapons and apparently commit violence.
If the Afghans are angry with anyone for their new government, they can begin to look in the mirror, and ruminate over the "security force" that melted away after stacking arms, and the government that flew out early after stuffing suitcases with US cash. Twenty years, $6.7 TRILLION, and 3000 military lives. Where do we get a refund on that purchase?
The lies didn't start with Biden, either. For 20 years it was Afghan peril, surge, and declare all was well. The facts, it is emerging, were much different, starting with the oversupplied "make work" security forces that we were believed attained some level of competence, along with its leadership. I wouldn't trust an Afghan general to supervise a road liter crew, nor would I trust the crew.
While we read these propaganda, sad story pieces, let's remember a few things: 1) The Afghans were the home team with supposedly the most to lose with the return of the Taliban or ISIS or any other fundamentalist Muslim cult. They failed themselves. 2) We were THEIR allies, supposedly supporting their efforts to reform a 7th Century society. We owe them nothing at this point for their "allegiance" - on display at the airport as they rush to bug out.
