'Lost All the Goodwill of 20 Years': Afghan Forces React to Biden's Bagram Withdrawal​

7 Jul 2021 ~~ By Spencer Brown
After nearly two decades of America's presence at Bagram Airfield, U.S. forces apparently turned off the lights and left under the cover of night, all without notifying the Afghan forces left behind. The Afghan commander "discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left," according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on conversations with members of Afghan security forces.
The Pentagon confirmed Friday that the last U.S. forces had left Bagram Airfield north of Kabul, Afghanistan, but days later we're getting a more complete picture of America's departure that marked a major milestone in President Biden's withdrawal plan.
In the immediate aftermath of American forces' departure, looters descended and "ransacked barrack after barrack and rummaged through giant storage tents" on the base that for years was the launching point for attacks on al-Qaida targets. Afghan forces were eventually able to clear the looters and re-secure the base after America's surprise withdrawal.
~Snip~
As Americans celebrated Independence Day, more than 1,000 members of the Afghan military fled across the border with Tajikistan in their latest retreat from the Taliban, according to Tajik reports from the country's border authority.
One Afghan soldier at Bagram told the AP that "in one night, they lost all the goodwill of 20 years by leaving the way they did, in the night, without telling the Afghan soldiers who were outside patrolling the area."
Another told of how, "within 20 minutes of the U.S.’s silent departure on Friday, the electricity was shut down and the base was plunged into darkness... like a signal to the looters."
The Afghan commander who is now in charge of Bagram told the Associated Press that "we have to secure our country and once again build our country with our own hands" and asserted he's confident any future attacks would be repelled by Afghan forces.
~Snip~
Questions in the U.S. continue to swirl regarding Afghanistan's future along with the security of the American embassy in Kabul and what will be done to protect Afghan translators who assisted American forces while they await visas. President Biden refused to answer questions about his administration's withdrawal plan last week, citing Independence Day as the reason he wouldn't address the subject.


Comment:
Hmm...., with the current flag officers and the ass clowns on the JCOS maybe the Afghanis are better off without us. Sorry folks. It's not about winning any longer. Thanks to all that sacrificed their time and efforts, lives and limbs in the middle east debacle. Some folks do appreciate your efforts.
Yet somehow our fearless leader Joey Xi touts that America is back and people can depend on the US again after the bad orange man was sent packing. At least people knew where we/they stood with Trump. Our military sneaking away in the night is disgraceful. But indicative of the methods of Bia Dung and the PM/DSA Democrat Left that handle him.

So you would rather us stay there forever?

Strange...that is the same thing McCain wanted. You know....the guy you hate now but supported then? Strange....that is the same thing Bush wanted. You know...the guy you hate now but supported then?

We should have packed up the whole circus when Obama killed Bin Laden.

So...what do you think Biden should be doing since you think we're "sneaking away"--he said we were withdrawing about 4 months ago. It's the worst clandestine operation ever.

Dumbfuck.

Sneaking away in the middle of the night?? Biden announced the withdrawal over a month ago
 
Democrats always fuck up foreign policy.

Remember when JFK acted like a little chickenshit and betrayed the freedom fighters at the Bay of Pigs and allowed Cuba to be a Russian puppet regime?

Remember when LBJ mismanaged the Vietnam War causing ten of thousands unnecessary combat deaths?

Remember when the Democrats defunded South Vietnam and the Communists took over?

Remember when Jimmy Carter was the biggest pussy in the world?

Remember when that idiot Slick Willy did nothing about the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center?

Remember when the Worthless Negro turned tail in Iraq and ISIS took over 90% of the country?

There are many more Democrat failures but these are just the highlights. Joe Dufus is continuing the Democrat record of failure. Anybody that voted for him is an imbecile.
 
Sounds like a little spin going on as how could they not know that the Americans were leaving.
 
Well the Vietnam withdrawal and Korean withdrawal did not end well.

So either you do not get involved or you have a clear exit plan.

I guess Biden should have partition the country first then withdraw.
 
It is a pity that the work of foreign agents, who can tell their fellow citizens that 20 thousand Afghans who collaborated with the occupation regime are preparing to be exported from Afghanistan, is prohibited in the States, so they will never know, about the cost of the entire operation of $822 billion, and each new citizen cost the Americans $40 million.
 
Most of the American people agreed it was time to vacate Afghanistan.
But to leave in an orderly fashion with dignity and honor.
Not sneak out like a thief in the middle of the night. ... :cuckoo:
And to make sure we take care of our allies and those who put their lives on the line helping us before pulling out. What the hell was Biden thinking? Taliban is executing people left and right in vengeance.

And for the Trumpsters who suddenly found a spark of conscience, too bad you didn’t have it when Trump precipitously withdrew from Syria leaving those who helped us at the mercy of Assad, the Russians, and the Turks, AND, we sharply curtailed the number of refugees we were willing to take.

After all this why would anyone ally with us? We can trusted.

You simply allied with the wrong allies who can not hold their ground without USA having to babysit them on the ground (=burden)
USA needs strong allies, not free-riders who rely on US money and US Army having to babysit them
 
it’s just so sad watching xiden the. his back on all these people that helped us fight the taliban. they are all going to be slaughtered, their women raped…just a nightmare what xiden is allowing to happen
