Seeing the Taliban advance and take over Afghanistan is not a pleasing sight at all. I really wished that President Biden would've waited and prepared the Afghan government and troops with some strong enough contingency, at least before leaving. I also wished the Trump administration would not have made any good faith assumption about the Taliban in negotiating with them.....(sigh).
I can only imagine how our troops must've felt in 1975, when Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese. I do know that many Vietnamese who lived during that time, felt they were betrayed.
All I can say is, I'm going to be praying for the people of Afghanistan.
No one wants his son to go to war but I would be proud of a son who volunteered. Whichever opinion prevails on Afghanistan, it's a tossup. My feeling is the nation is too primitive and the citizens are too dogmatic to save themselves. Biden gave his best press responses today. His meds must have been working.

This is not good at all.
