The lack of SIMPLE thinking skills is amazing. Let me spell it out for you:
Afghan government had US-made helicopters.
If you pull out, Taliban gets helicopters.
Anyone who wanted to pull out can be criticized for Taliban getting helicopters.
My lord.
Also lost on the NYPost and apparently you, is the fact that Taliban joy riding in helos (if true) has at least 2 REALLY obvious likely upsides.
Speaking of SIMPLE thinking skills, it's the norm for withdrawing troops to destroy anything of value that they have to leave behind so that the bad guys can't use them. It's not normal for things like serviceable helicopters to be left behind. Perhaps your SIMPLE thinking is just that, simple.
