The 'organ' is brilliant...thank you for sharing. I continue to struggle to understand 1) why the administration took such a cavalier approach to the evacuations. Was the original plan simply to exit the country quickly to avoid US casualties and assume no one would notice the stranded allies? Even after slow-walking the paperwork, when the Afghan army folded, why didn't mass evacuations occur with processing done in a safe location? If the cruelty was the point with the Trump administration, what is the point with the Biden administration? There's no way that an evacuation would be smooth and orderly...that was always gaslighting, but it didn't have to be this bad. I feel as though I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. 2) I don't understand why the media didn't provide 24/7 coverage when Trump literally surrendered our Kurdish allies to Turkey over a phone call with Erdogan. We left 100K allies behind, Kurdish troops were slaughtered. Why didn't those actions receive the same level of media scrutiny? Am I comparing apples to oranges, or is it just that we expected no better from Trump, but expected much more from Biden?
