They need you to think that the real horror is a messy exit rather than the hundreds of thousands of lives lost and two trillion dollars spent to make war profiteers billions and rebuild the Taliban.
A mess beginning to end. Going in was a mistake and staying 20 years was a bigger mistake. Despite the sloppy exit, it was at least the right thing to do. Everyone knew the execution would be awful. All I can add is that the exit would have undoubtedly been worse under Trump.
