re: #9 Targetpractice

The narrative now is that the war was a “mistake,” but there was some magical way it could have been ended that would have seen us get every single American, foreign national, and Afghan national that wished to leave out of the country safely without either committing to an extension of the war or getting more American soldiers killed. And that Biden deserves all the blame and should resign for not achieving that ending.

13 American soldiers died, doing an evacuation that saved 122,000 civilians.
That’s approximately 1 American soldier dead for every 10,000 civilians saved.

How many of those 13 Americans would have called that an acceptable trade?
