As one commentator put it yesterday," There is no plan for the loser of a military engagement to disengage without a certain amount of chaos". Ask Napoleon about the retreat from Moscow, or the German army from Stalingrad! As the armchair quarterbacks spend time second guessing how the withdrawal from Kabul could have been better planned, most could offer no better solution than putting more troops in harm's way.
The whiplash effect of the war's cheerleaders is stunning. The same people who would pour more soldiers into the meat grinder to supposedly safeguard Afghan women and children oppose any efforts to resettle our allies in the US as the war winds down. Suck it up buttercups!
