[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1053658, member: 50079"] Pretty crazy scenes from Afghanistan alright. I don't massively blame the US for pulling out, they've been there for 20 years, trained and armed the Afghan army, but they still folded instantly without a fight. What I am critical of is how quickly they decided to do it and how they are leaving a tonne of people they should have made provisions for (Afghan translators, guides etc) behind who will very obviously face reprisals. I am also obviously critical of what a meaningless waste of human lives the whole war was. The scenes of chaos at the airport are pretty harrowing and I hope as many people whose lives are in danger under a Taliban regime are evacuated. [/QUOTE]
