What would have the withdrawal looked like if not botched? Don’t think the Afghans were going to throw bouquets of flowers at our departing troops. We were turning things over to the Taliban after the government had basically collapsed.

Even if we had taken an extra 6 months to withdraw, I still think there would be more casualties during that time also. And things would have still been messy.
