Bill,
How did the top generals do with the Afghanistan withdrawal?
Touche.

There were indications that the commanders running the war in Afghanistan during its final years were in severe denial and were feeding overly optimistic information to their higher-ups, including Obama, Trump, and Brandon. The level of denial exhibited by the commanders was only exceeded by PooTin and his "three day" war of choice in Ukraine.

The Washington Post, a.k.a. Democracy Dies Behind Paywalls, had a really good article exposing this. I don't feel like digging up the link, but I was quite surprised that this article did not create any significant waves.

The result was the disastrous pullout that we all witnessed.

Did any heads roll as a result of the disaster? Nope.

Instead, the Brandon gaslighting machine went into full gear, telling us that the FUBAR withdrawal from Afghanistan was all according to plan, and that if anyone was to blame for how badly it went, it's Trump.
