Pentagon Amazed At trump's Idiotic Idea Re. Afghanistan

[Althea]

After his sound beating on election day, trump was hoping for a legacy of ending all of our military engagements. He had 4 years to wind down our endless wars, but he chose to rush the entire affair.

He wanted to bring home all troops before Biden's inauguration.

Now he has the nerve to talk about Biden's Afghanistan draw down.

John McEntee, one of Donald Trump's most-favored aides, handed retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor a piece of paper with a few notes scribbled on it. He explained: "This is what the president wants you to do."
1. Get us out of Afghanistan.
2. Get us out of Iraq and Syria.
3. Complete the withdrawal from Germany.
4. Get us out of Africa.

The one-page memo was delivered by courier to Christopher Miller's office two days later, on the afternoon of Nov. 11. The order arrived seemingly out of nowhere, and its instructions, signed by Trump, were stunning: All U.S. military forces were to be withdrawn from Somalia by Dec. 31, 2020. All U.S. forces were to be withdrawn from Afghanistan by Jan. 15, 2021.

What the fuck is this? Miller wondered.
