Neither of those examples have anything at all to do with the military or IC, so it's hard to understand what you're trying to communicate. Would you mind trying a different approach?


How is the Afghanistan withdrawal and subsequent collapse of the propped up government anything but a US military and intelligence failure? #1 was badly organised, hurried and left many people behind to certain death ( translators and others who helped the US army). #2 came as a complete surprise to everyone.

The decision to withdraw wasn't a military one, but they didn't really do a good job at executing it. What better way to cap off the fiasco that was that war?


The military and IC were aware of the downsides of the President's plan and repeatedly warned against it.

You're faulting the military for... what, exactly? Not committing mutiny against the Commander in Chief?


To better plan what they had to do. The withdrawal was extremely amateurish.


This is non-responsive. What exactly are you faulting the military for? Because there's pretty much nothing any military service messed up about the withdrawal.
