Don Winslow is great! A really good writer too. I feel great about Afghanistan. We are FINALLY leaving a country the US should never have occupied for a minute. We won the war 20 years ago, easily. But occupying the country was a huge mistake. I think the comparison you guys mentioned on your podcast of Dunkirk is very apt. 110,000 people and counting? That's remarkable. While I know Trump would have bungled the withdrawal a hundred different ways, I'll happily pretend it would have been no more or less chaotic if we left two years ago or ten years ago. Leaving is messy. And long long overdue. Thank God Biden won't let a handful of attacks divert him from the task at hand: getting the hell out of there.
