Bush Jr. didn't go that far.

There are plenty on the airport runways though. And I'm not seeing the men see that the women and children are taken care of first. If they don't feel that women and children should go first, America can't be blamed for chaos if the people themselves show no civility regarding priority of their own people.

Perhaps it is the men in most danger of being executed as traitors.

If you have ever been to China and seen a bus stop, you will have seen a mob of people funneling into the bus doors.  Grannies get pushed aside even in that culture that is supposed to revere them.  Different sensibilities?  I don't know.  Maybe it is growing up in a society with scarce resources that have to be fought over.

Another great plan from someone who never has to execute a plan, just talk about them.  General Bonespurs.

Could be, but I honestly doubt it. The takeover so far seems to have no discrimination.

Most likely I guess, I'm just not seeing the chaos as America's or Biden's fault. It's just how things are there.

He's gone from 'Cadet' to 'General' in record time. Perhaps the best time ever. No one went through the ranks faster. No one knows more about war and the military than him.

I wonder if this could lead to the Republicans invoking the 25th amendment?   If found incompetent that would give us our first female president. 

Is it more important that she isn’t white or that she isn’t a person who identifies as a man? I was asking because I was going to say she could be our first black president……. Oh yeah, my bad.

His views and opinions are just as valid as yours. Remind me again why I should care about your opinion? 

I was unaware that TV news shows are required to only bring “experts” on as guests.

seriously though, if you criticize the person it’s usually because you don’t have the expertise to criticize their words.

He's so full of it. I posted a small clip the other day of him just a month or 2 ago saying the complete opposite. And there is a video of then president trump saying last year what he just sent out. Evacuate the allies, bomb the bases, evacuate the troops and threatened to obliterate any taliban who looks cross-eyed at a soldier until we are all gone. Seen it the other day. Apparently that was his actual plan.

Omg my first response was so boring.

And we don't have troops "remaining" there until all other Americans are evacuated. Biden sent them home first, caught the heat and sent them back in. Now they'll remain, but they weren't going to.

I'll remember that the next time you criticize anyone. You made no sense there.

Pretty sure you understood what I said. You only typed two sentences. The first one precisely responded to my comment about criticizing the messenger. Then in a leap of faith, in the only other sentence, you claimed I made no sense.
 

Actual, arguments need to string more than two sentences together,

Because it helps validate the 'news'; value of their shows?

You were the one defending your opinion that a payment devalues someone’s opinion. I was complimenting you on how valuable your opinion is.

And your opinion is worth the same as mine since we're both not getting paid.

That sounds like BS. Got anything to support that? Troops have been decreasing over the last few months. They weren't ever entirely evacuated that I know of. That would have made quite an impact in the media I would think. 

If they had already left, then the airport debacle would have happened before now too.
