The DOD was dragging its feet on Afghanistan because Esper feared a direct presidential order to withdraw, he admits to the Military Times.
Describing the Pentagon’s wait-and-see Afghanistan strategy, Esper said, “Now, if I were the president, I’d say, ‘Really? Here you go. Here’s a written piece of paper. You’re coming home by December.’”
Esper was desperately seeking to avoid just that.
The stalling tactics Esper admits to are reminiscent of the scenes from Bob Woodward and Miles Taylor’s books, where both authors describe Trump’s staff removing memos from his desk in order to redirect his attention and distract him from executing policy they disagreed with.
Esper had reasons to be worried about a direct order to withdraw. The commander-in-chief is completely within his rights to order the military to withdraw from Afghanistan, said Mark Perry, senior analyst with the Quincy Institute,
‘Decapitations’ At DOD: ‘A Purge,’ ‘A Coup’ Or Something Else? (The dismissals have been called ‘nefarious,’ a ‘purge,’ a ‘dangerous day’ and Trump ‘burning down’ the Defense Department.)

You didn't answer the question. If the Taliban retake the country why did all those GIs did for?
The Taliban was never our enemy to begin with....so why have we been at war with them for 20 years?....lets see you answer that one....
It would have been difficult for the impeached president trump to start a war. He was too busy kissing the a$$es of the despots the conservatives hated before their worship of the cheeto-in-chief made them love Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un.The DOD was dragging its feet on Afghanistan because Esper feared a direct presidential order to withdraw, he admits to the Military Times.

Trump is the only president who hasn't started a war or invasion etc since carter. The shadow govt loves bush, obama types. Endless wars, invasion, death, destruction. This is why trump is hated. He hates war and is antithetical to the globalists, neocons who infest the repubs and dems and yearn for never ending war and control.
The problem is he did this way too late. He should have realized before he took office, that he had to clean house throughout the executive branch and particularly the Pentagon. He’s just not smart enough.

They died fighting and killing Islamic terrorists. We can still do that in the future if they want to attack us again. Or did you think the soldiers went there and died for some permanent US settlement?
