Before (announcing) a total troop drawdown... Get the translators out. Get the ambassadors out. Get the Blackhawk helicopters and other military aircraft out rather than sending in B-52s to bomb them so they don't fall into the hands of the Taliban.

Biden didn't do that because he *didn't see the need to do that* because he *severely underestimated the capabilities of the enemy*

The Commander in Chief doesn’t operate at that level of details though. It’s “gtfo by this date”. The military has a bajillion officers whose job it is to be the best in the world at logistics.
