I honestly don't know what they were expecting tbh, though I'm sure they must have had an idea of the situation. I mean that first press conference where he's saying he doesn't think Afghanistan would fall he did not sound confident or like he wanted to be there making any kind of statement he could could be held to account for. I doubt in a million years he ever would have admitted that we had completely failed and it was about to be a **** show.
