The number of private military contractors operating in Afghanistan has dropped precipitously in recent months – the first specifics in an otherwise secretive withdrawal process and the surest sign yet that the Biden administration, unlike its predecessors, does not appear to be retaining any on-the-ground military support for its local allies after it leaves.
New documents prepared for Congress by the Defense Department show the total number of all kinds of contractors in Afghanistan has dropped by more than half in the last three months from almost 17,000 as of April to only 7,800 this month, with fewer than 2,700 Americans among them. The cuts are especially acute for private security contractors and for logisticians and mechanics, including the critical staff necessary to keep Afghanistan's fledgling air force aloft. The Biden administration increasingly touts that force as one of the last remaining advantages the U.S.-backed local military has over the Taliban.

"When president Biden was inaugurated, there were approximately 3,500 US troops, 5,400 NATO troops and 6,300 contractors in Afghanistan with a specified task of train, advise and assist along with a small contingent of counter terrorism forces.

The number of military contractors increased up to 25K - 30K (with some fluctuations). WTF are you talking about?

If you're going to quit a conservation, try not to whine about it. Trump is responsible for all the conditions that the Taliban didn't live up to and the consequence of the lack of enforcement. Remember Benedict Donald's word. "I started the Process"....."they couldn't stop the process."

That's nice. She was standing there doing what a VP does...nothing...and then left last.
Why do you all imagine all of a sudden she as VP has all this power and authority when no other VP has ever had it?

So Biden made the call, not Harris?
After twenty years of a losing war against the Taliban it was time to leave. The Taliban could not have survived against the best equipped military in the world without popular support in Afghanistan.
American troops did not leave clinging to their helicopters, like they did after losing the War in Vietnam.

You are making a fool out of yourself by the way....
