The WIki references the DoD. Abbey gate was August 21'.....even your cite has it if you go to the DoD link they shared and downloaded the excel file. Inserted below. You said 12 per year and are INCLUDING the 13 from Abbey Gate. We are saying, had the plan been executed in a much slower more methodical fashion without a trigger finger plan......there
could have been 13 less deaths in those years of exiting Afghanistan.
A. Could have been. Oh come on. Yeah, I know. It's possible, sure. But if we're playing that game? What's the other possible outcome?
It could have been FAR WORSE if you did as you say and taken YEARS instead of month to get out. Savvy?
This is complete and utter partisan BS. You and clownboy Old Salt would have been on here, telling us "war is hell", or 'you try and come up with a better plan" and all the rest of it if it happened on Trump's watch. You and everyone here have seen you two play this same game over and over and over. If a R is in the White House, out comes wise ol' Old Salt, counseling that war is hell, and bad stuff happens in war zones, and this is what they signed up for, and all that....but the INSTANT a Dem shows up? Oh, suddenly you're asking Hillary Clinton to personally handle the strategic defense of a diplomatic outpost.
And no matter how you play your game, we had pine boxes heading home under Trump....and I didn't hear one freaking complaint from you two about it, and I'm tired of this transparent-as-hell nonsense from you guys where Fox tells you "Biden ruined everything", and like clockwork, you show up here and tell us "Biden ruined everything". Just once, for my birthday or something, can you two stop telling us what Fox tells you to say? Just once, please.
And please tell me how the KIA's under Trump were fine. He and his "no more stupid wars" lie that you and OS bought hook line and sinker.....when he LEFT THEM THERE, leading to deaths, and neither of you so much as notice the KIAs. But out come the sob stories when Biden is smart enough to get the firetruck out of there, and you want to throw stones?
Sorry mate, this is all nonsense. Tell us again how many deaths we had over there this year?
I'm tired of you two trying to sell us that it's "coincidence" that you're on the forum, telling us Biden did it wrong, and Trump did it right. If nothing else? It's boring. Try a new independent thought. You might like it!
