'Lying' to the media/public aside I'd practically give Biden more credit if he ignored military advisors and pulled out of Afghanistan anyway. I also agree with Edward that there's an awful lot of context missing from all of that. While a 2,500 man force might be considered 'small' in terms of manpower, how many bases were we supposed to keep open and maintain? How many contractors would be filling in that void? Was the endless funneling of resources and military equipment to the Afghan 'Army' a conveniently unmentioned part of that small force?
