Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for the disastrous intervention in Afghanistan. Bush II started it, Obama reinforced failure in the most wasteful way available to him, Trump ignored it except when he felt like meddling and ended up under-cutting diplomats and military commanders alike, and now Biden is cutting the country’s losses while he can.

Anybody would think Vietnam had been erased from the national memory.

Incidentally, I note that Gitmo is still operating.
