[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1057489, member: 56232"] Dunkirk, although an embarrassment, was also a pretty impressive undertaking. There was nothing impressive about how we left Afghanistan. Granted I don't think Johnson deserves too much flak for that, once the Americans decided they were leaving then that was it. However you would have thought the best course of action would be to try not to mention is again but it seems Johnson is immune to shame and embarrassment so not only is happy to dredge it up again but to boast about it like we actually achieved anything. As has been pointed out, the withdrawal from Vietnam is a more apt comparison. The idea that after years and years of costly fighting we are scurrying away with our tail between our legs, defeated. No live to fight another day spirit, just flat out defeat. I don't particularly blame Johnson for Afghanistan as it was a no win whatever happened but attempting to portray it as anything else is ridiculous. [/QUOTE]
