This is just lazy debate bro ****
I said from what i heard the projections didn't expect it to fall as quickly as it did. The likely reason it fell so quickly is because of the demoralizing aspect of a rapid pull out coupled with a new logistical burden on the afghan military that they were not at all prepared for. So yeah, looks like a botched job to me.

I don't think that the transition will be easy for Afghanis but it's a condition we created to the point that I consider pulling out a form of mitigation in itself. I'm not denying that there's a cost to the scenario, I just think the benefit outweighs it.

there's arguably a benefit to us. Relieving ourselves of the burden. But a benefit to afghanistan? Nah. I don't see it lol.
