We left them in the hands of the Afghans who rather than fighting for their rights immediately surrenderred everything to the Taliban.
This is such a freaking disaster.
Edit:. Can hardly blame them we pulled all support, contractors etc. Biden knew it was going to happen yet did it anyway. Anyone who helped the US will likely be killed, terrorism will increase.
Or purpose for being there was to hold a footprint to dissuade major terrorism after 9-11. In that task we were successfull. The evil that will fill that vacuum will be a nightmare.
