that 5000 person strong prisoner release) and had only one really big shit event (the ISIS-K attack, BUT we already went after them hard, AND that attack removed all doubt we could stay and foot-drag).

We got a shedload of Afghani allies out, will keep trying to get more.

The Afghan army suffered HUGE casualties over the 20 years (pisses me off to see them called cowards and worse), and they only cut and ran after it was clear we were leaving and then came the coffin-nail, when the Afghan corrupt government fled (and those fuckers had been starving them of pay, ammo, equipment, etc for close to a year).

The war-mongers, the shit press, the fucking ULTRA hypocritical Rethugs, and all the MIC and their shills can go FUCK THEMSELVES.

Superb job, Mr President!
