Look to Vietnam as a comparison. Over 60 servicemen were killed during the last month of the chaotic withdrawal. It's a miracle that the Afghanistan operation went as well as it did after 20 years of war and Trump's worst negotiated peace deal in history (he released Taliban 5,000 terrorist fighters back to the battlefield).

Thank you. Was this comparison ever made by any media outlet? I didn't follow the news closely. I don't recall hearing anything like this.

I donтАЩt recall hearing anything like that from the media either, and I followed it closely across all media outlets. The media narrative was set on the first day from 15-20 seconds of video at the airport. You know, the clips of people running alongside the plane and packed in a cargo hold that outlets ran over and over.
