    Biden emphasized that the United States built up an Afghan air force, but Afghans weren't willing to fight. What he leaves out: https://www.wsj.com/articles/afghanistan-army-collapse-taliban-11628958253 …pic.twitter.com/nDMdX8XFpb

        Biden's said Afghans lacked the will to fight despite the fact the U.S. provided "close air support" and "maintenance of their air force." WSJ: "the U.S. pulled its air support.... That meant the Afghan military simply couldn’t operate anymore"https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/what-biden-left-out-when-he-blamed-afghans-for-the-talibans-swift-victory/ …

        So 300,000 cut and run because they suddenly didn't have planes that worked?

        In 20 years, they could not learn their own support and service functions?  As you saying we hid those skills from the Afghans?
