We’ve let Afghanistan down

We’ve let Americans down

We’ve let our veterans down

In Joe Biden’s inaugural speech, he emphasized he wanted unity in the United States.
Well, he has it!
Even CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and ABC agree that President Biden has totally botched the pull out of Afghanistan.
Our US military was pulled out before our weapons were pulled out or before our American civilians were pulled out. America’s pull-out has now left the Taliban in control of Afghanistan. People are being whipped in the streets and are being stoned to death in the streets. Security forces are being murdered.
To make it worse - our White House Administration has no plan to help those still stranded in Afghanistan. Plan??? The original political plan was to withdraw the military from Afghanistan in time for the 20th Anniversary of Sept. 11. This “plan” had little consideration for the aftermath of what would happen if the government happened to fall to the control of the Taliban. Which is exactly what happened.
Our president was warned and chose not to listen to the Generals concerning the fast departure out of Afghanistan. The fact that the Taliban had already begun taking over during America’s partial pull-out. And now – now we have thousands upon thousands of Americans left stranded, praying they make it out of that country alive. Praying that this administration can somehow come up with a new plan – a plan that will save their life.
Meanwhile we have organizations like No Man Left Behind stepping up and helping get civilians out of Afghanistan while our president is still pondering over what to do next.
Not only is the Taliban now in total control of Afghanistan and the United States is having to ask their permission to get our own people out, but they (the Taliban) have billions in U.S. weapons, including 40 aircraft (including Black Hawks), up to 600,000 rifles and 2,000 armored vehicles.
The United States of America has the bravest and most powerful military in the world - - - our President could have made this transition so much differently had he chosen, or if he would step up now and take control. Meanwhile, the entire world is watching this and watching how America has botched this up - and the entire world will forever wonder if they can trust the United States of America in important situations ever again.
President Biden is anti-war. And has proven that in years past with his votes in the senate and in his statements made. What is unfolding in front of us is the result of his inability to serve as a true commander-in-chief, to our military.
Americans are not supposed to leave people behind. But yet, we sit and watch President Biden leave THOUSANDS of our own men and women behind.
Within the last several weeks the veterans of our great country have hit a rock bottom low, in moral. It is heartbreaking to see the Taliban back in control and setting conditions that we do not have control over. After all the sweat, blood, tears and loss of life - our veterans are watching as our President of the United States hand the country back to the terrorists. The same country they help rebuild. The same country they spent birthdays, anniversaries, Christmases in. The same country they watched their friends die in, while defending.
Veterans feel betrayed politically! The question in their minds, “Was it worth the cost? Was it worth my time away from my family? Was it worth the loss of limbs? Was it worth the loss of life?”
To each of you that has served our great nation of the United States, I say - YOUR SERVICE WAS NOT IN VAIN! I thank you - from the bottom of my heart and soul for your service. You fought terrorism abroad so that they would not come onto our soil. Your service is greatly appreciated!
What is happening right now – this very minute – across the seas – is a national disgrace.
God protect those still stranded in Afghanistan and speed their return home. They should have been the ones to leave first, with our military to follow.
