RETHINKING - August 30, 2021 - Will we remember the Last Flight?

Will remain in our memory the "Last Flight from Kabul"? @WSJ posted a harsh criticism against President Biden about the last rescue flight. Till now, we don't know what will come in the next few days and years. At today, this day looks like the worst in our recent History.

The Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal said about the Last Flight from Kabul: "A day that will live in infamy as thousands are left behind."

And after that it added "The last American troops left Kabul on Monday—before the Aug. 31 deadline as the Taliban and President Biden had insisted—ending a 20-year conflict but also diminishing the hope of escape for tens of thousands of Afghan interpreters and others who helped America. The frantic evacuation flights managed to get many out, but this was a shameful day in American history, no matter how much the White House wants to spin it otherwise."

Meanwhile, who defend President Biden, they think August 30, 2021 is a positive milestone in American History.

Probably, midterm elections will give us the positive or negative grade that President Biden received for Afghanistan's withdrawal.

In my point of view, this is a painful day in the 2021 calendar due to the 13 American soldiers killed in the last days and the American citizens and Afghan friends who remain in Afghanistan in the hands of the Taliban. (WSJ estimates: hundred Americans and 60,000 Afghans).
