President Trump had our total Withdrawal from Afghanistan scheduled for today, May 1st, 2021.

Why did the SwampFox push that back to September 1st?

C'mon, tell the whole story here: Trump originally announced, on Oct 7 2020, that the US would withdraw from Afghanistan by Christmas of that year. This shocking message caught our military flatfooted, because Trump had not consulted them, and there was no way it could be done on that timescale.

Biden [i]talked to the generals,[/i] agreed on a rational timescale for withdrawal, and then announced it. That's called leadership.
