That 2,500 troop level was ordered shortly after Benedict Donald lost in 2020. Well, first he tried to evacuate our troops by Jan 15th 2021, but after the Military had a Talk with him, he flip-flopped and order troop level to be drawn down to 2,500, the minimum number the military said they needed to continue to support the Afghan Army. Anyone with just a little sense knew that when the truce with the Taliban ended, those 2,500 soldiers would be at risk and re-enforcement would be necessary to protect them.
Benedict Donald claimed the Doha Accords and our withdrawal was conditional on the Taliban complying with the agreement. However they did not complied with 6 out of the 7 conditions, yet Benedict withdrew over 10,000 of our troops nearly unconditionally during 2020.
Throughout Benedicts final year, Afghanistan was descending into chaos thanks to his near unconditional withdrawal of over 80% of our troop strength. The troops we need to enforce the Doha Accord.
