First the polls. They ask how well of a job Biden did getting us out because this is the narrative they've been pushing for weeks. Are you surprised people are rolled this easy? These same pollsters rolled Americans into thinking there were WMDs in Iraq, and we needed to go to war.

In the end, it was the right decision because
1) I don't want to die in that war and
2) I don't want my children to die in that war and
3) I don't want my grandchildren dying in that war.

After WW2, Americans weren't dying in Japan, Germany, or other countries. This is not the same.

You want American lives to be given to save a country from itself. Which country do we do this in next? Israel?

There's nothing you wrote that falls under the Just War Theory. All five must be met.

"The principles of the justice of war are commonly held to be: having just cause, being a last resort, being declared by a proper authority, possessing right intention, having a reasonable chance of success, and the end being proportional to the means used."

Leaving was the only moral decision.
