Keep in mind we had about 3500 troops there. They could have been pulled out on 10 airliners.

We were doing it slowly, over the course of months.

If the Afghans wee unprepared for this, they would have been unprepared whenever or however it happened.

I agree that Biden bears some blame here...but he inherited a 20-year failure.
