Best decision we could have made. Wish it was done years ago. Only thing to do now is make darned sure we get out the people that helped the US and allies as quickly as possible. It’s not going to be easy, but it must be done.

Those past cowards couldn't do it like him and I agree we need to get everyone out that wants out. France is working towards this effort also. The Aussies and UK are admitting they can't help. This is a mess now and it sickens everyone on many levels. If we don't get the people out we will never get support from any locals ever again in any future war.

I mean- its not like we did the best job with the Kurds or the Hmong or the Mien.

The best outcome would be not doing any more occupying army stuff. It is not very productive.
