Instead, the vast majority of our military actually ended up leaving ahead of schedule over that period of months. This has been well reported, but not given much attention in the mainstream press.
Biden deserves criticism for plenty of things, but I don’t think the speed of the withdrawal is actually one of them.

Were they to have insisted that all civilians leave the country first, starting say back in May, the Biden admin would have been telling the whole world that they had zero confidence in the Afghan government to hold the line. How do you think that would have worked out?
The issue is that people (including civilians in Kabul) simply didn’t expect the Afghan military to fall so quickly, and so on. That is a big part of what forced the rushed evacuation of civilians in the end.

Biden chose to keep this agreement in place because he felt getting out of Afghanistan was the right thing to do. Once you understand that, the question is how best to do it given the constraints that were in place. The details of that exit will surely be criticized by people for decades to come, especially armchair warriors who were never involved in the discussions.
As for your claim that most of the US citizens in the country were civilian contractors being paid to maintain equipment, do you have a source or a link to back that up?

Imagine Trump was a king in a land with no laws. He would massacre the blue states. I mean literally, like genocide.

I would rather we build a few more (Australia can buy them...) and let them operate them out of Guam where we have a maintenance support infrastructure. Besides, it is closer to China.
Just a retired submariner. BTW- the GWN neighbours thought about this concept in the mid '80s and once they sharpened the pencils, they walked away. This sounds much more developed and politically driven.
