2000 Military Vehicles left behind is A LOT looking at the number of US Military Forces in the Country during the last Months. And 45 Blackhawks I would also not want to write off on my cost center.
As far as I'm concerned, every senior US military leader who was involved in the "planning" (I use the word loosely) and execution of this withdrawal should be fired as soon as the dust settles - maybe even before. A few should even be court-marshaled. Then the people who were actually boots on the ground and saw what a disaster it was should be promoted to take their places - having seen what the price of failure really is.
It won't happen - the leaders be showered with praise and honor for their 'heroic actions' with lots of undeserved medals given out.
But it should.
