On August 31, 2021, President Joe Biden ordered all U.S. troops to withdraw from Afghanistan. What are your thoughts? Good idea? Bad Idea?

pulling out probably guarantees another terrorist attack in the US within a decade. We can only hope it's not another 9/11.

I love how people keep saying Trump would have done it worse...you couldn't have done it any worse. A monkey could have planned the withdrawal better than Biden did...or rather, failed to do.
Trump was a staunch supporter of the military and those who worked with our military, he wouldn't have just left thousands of people with their dicks hanging in the wind.

I think it’s hard to say if Trump would’ve done it better or worse. Deals were made with the Taliban to get people out of there.. It wasn’t solely up to the US Government. I love you Fiona, but disagree that Trump was a staunch supporter of the military. He supported them when it was convenient for him and only then. When talking about John McCain, he said it himself that he likes people who don’t get captured. What kind of human being, let alone a President, says that? I don’t think Trump would have worked very hard to get everyone home. He didn’t work to bring anyone home during his Peesidency, but he sure talked a good game about it.BlackParadePixie wrote:

As far as the withdrawal, I think it was a good idea but it was never going to have a happy ending, not without the Afghan Army standing up for themselves against the Taliban. Most of them laid their rifles down and let it happen. My heart breaks for the civilians still over there and knowing how women and children are treated. We needed to bring home our men and women though. Twenty years was too long and staying longer wouldn’t have done any good imo
