Are you nucking futs?
From the Wapo article:
"The U.S. military has vacated its most important airfield in Afghanistan, defense officials said Friday, a strategic and emotional milestone in a 20-year U.S. war that the Pentagon is preparing to end.
But there were signs on Friday that disintegrating security in Afghanistan is causing a partial shift in the speed of the military’s plans. While U.S. officials had said recently they anticipated that Army Gen. Austin “Scott” Miller — the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan for nearly three years — would depart within days, the Pentagon announced on Friday that he will remain in command for several more weeks, as the Biden administration develops plans to continue aerial surveillance and, if needed, carry out counterterrorism strikes without U.S. troops on the ground."
So they damn well knew the situation with respect to Bagram and the blind fools in the defense department and the admin couldn't make a decision on their own and royally effed up. Keep to the schedule men, nothing more important.
They acted the same as the blind fools described in Homer's The Odyssey:
"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns ...
driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy.
Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds,
many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea,
fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home.
But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove —
the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all,
the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun
and the Sungod blotted out the day of their return.
Launch out on his story. Muse, daughter of Zeus,
start from where you will — sing for our time too."
Yes, the blind fools.
