President Biden’s Failure in Afghanistan Leaves American Troops Dead and the Taliban Fully Stocked
It’s been said that “nature abhors a vacuum,” and in the case of the Taliban forces retaking Afghanistan after the U.S. military’s withdrawal, proves this phrase to be true. Under the direct authorization from the president himself, this bungled & uncoordinated retreat brings to mind another quote that accurately describes this situation: “There are few things more dangerous than a mixture of power, arrogance and incompetence.” These words accurately portray what the president has been heavily criticized for by the vast majority of Americans, whose political views span across the aisle. It is hard to fathom that even the Left-leaning media agencies label President Biden’s handling of our military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan as an utter failure. In the wake of the president’s decision for such a disastrous and rushed pull out, according to Rep. Banks from Indiana, some of the 85 billion dollars of military equipment left behind includes:
- 75,000 vehicles
- Over 200 airplanes & helicopters
- Over 600,000 small arms and light weapons
- A vast supply of body armor, night-vision goggles, and medical supplies
Also, the U.S. State Department gave the Taliban terrorists a list of names of American citizens and Afghanistan allies (allegedly to help facilitate the withdrawal of such personnel.) That’s right, the very people who we fought against and protected the citizens of Afghanistan from. Yes, the very people who, upon retaking the capitol of Kabul and local airport, were seen dancing and chanting in the streets “death to America.” These are the terrorists the U.S. State Department decided to entrust with a list of names in order to keep our citizens and allies out of harm’s way.
Speaking of incompetence — the untimely & completely avoidable deaths of 13 U.S. Service members and over 100 Afghans by ISIS-K terrorist bombings are to be added to the list of unforgivable atrocities. The names of the service member who paid the ultimate sacrifice are as follows:
- Marine Corps Lance Cpl. David L. Espinoza
- Marine Corps Sgt. Nicole L. Gee
- Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Darin T. Hoover
- Marine Corps Cpl. Daegan W. Page
- Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez
- Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum
- Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Dylan R. Merola
- Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Kareem M. Nikoui
- Marine Corps Sgt. Johanny Rosariopichardo
- Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Humberto A. Sanchez
- Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz
- Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss
- Navy Hospitalman Maxton W. Soviak
Rest in peace, warriors. Thank you for your diligent & unwavering service. We will forever honor and recognize your sacrifice.
Such a terrible event to transpire. Certainly one of the worst days in modern American foreign policy history and the deadliest day for the U.S. military in over a decade. Of course, this is all in the wake of President Biden’s decision to pull our troops out of Afghanistan in a hurried yet sloppy fashion. As a result of doing so, the Taliban terrorists have taken over as they declare victory in the war in Afghanistan, because as stated before, “nature abhors a vacuum.” Well, it is safe to say they have filled said vacuum as a dominant and well-armed fighting group in the region, the repercussions of which remain to be seen.
Shame on this administration for precipitating such a devastating chain of events, for which one can only speculate, the worst is yet to come.
