In reply to Charles Moorman. Charles- Thanks for sharing! I agree that a QFR of 2500 at Bagram AB would have maintained the status quo and allowed for an orderly withdrawal short term and even for a longer transition period. Close air support was effective from Bagram, the deciding factor. If you read my historical narrative, RECALL, you will see the parallel mistakes we made in Vietnam. We seem to never learn from our experiences.

I knew for years that this would be the final sad outcome for Afghanistan. To think that with a mere 2500 troop in Kabul and relatively safe from combat we could stabilize the governmemt seemed Iike the appropriate thing to do. I guess there arent .many who would agree with yet we have trooos all over the globe who in Japan and Germany’s case have been there now for three quarters of a century and there”s call to pull them out. Afghanistan will revert to what it wasvore 2001–a haven for terrorists to hone their murderous skill. Joe Biden is a fool plain and simple and doubt with heard the last of the Tivan kr f Afghanistan!
