      Will this docimentary also point out some non Politically correct truth? I mean to point at specific commanders who did so bad decisions to leave Bagram and keep people in perimeter even after high risk suicide attack was reported? And what about the court martial for the marine who was photographed helping a baby to get over the wire? I mean this dude gets lawsuit because of it and commanders no?

      Most people don't know that we had just abandoned the Bagram US military Airbase on the 2nd of July. About a month before this happened. It makes absolutely no sense to use the airport in Kabul over Bagram. Or, at the very least, use both of them. We should have notified and started to transport US citizens and the Afghans who helped us months before the fall of Kabul. Yet, we just gave up our most critical strategic asset and left. This whole withdrawal was a disgusting disgrace.

American Marines gave their honest recount performing their duty at their best, you hear the stories of Afghans who escaped and who were left behind. You see the squalid conditions, the bad logistic, suicide bombers, the innocent women and children dying in the chaos. 20 years later, feeling heart break and frustration.

One rocket landed off-base and the others I think were shot down by another gun. There were 12 set up across the airport. We could only transport 3 of them out so the remaining 9 were left there and destroyed with oil, thermites and mallets.

    Watched this last night. It was really heartbreaking, the desperation of the people and also the Marines who led the initial response. I was just waiting for the mentioning of the suicide attack at one of the gates. Watching and listening to the Marines who were in sheer panic watching all the possible target vehicles and people come nearby. What shocked me the most, was the Taliban commanders and special forces members who seemed surprised citizens wanted to flee, it’s always like they never even looked themselves in the mirror and thought “maybe we’re the reason “our people” want to flee.” Bravo to those marines and all the NATO forces that assisted with the airlift.

Anyways, after the ISKP attack u killed your own Afghan puppets and some of our people who were leaving for a better financial future.

    Sun 14 Oct 2001 - President George Bush rejected as "non-negotiable" an offer by the Taliban to discuss turning over Osama bin Laden if the United States ended the bombing in Afghanistan.
    November 2001 - “The Taliban were completely defeated, they had no demands, except amnesty,” recalled Barnett Rubin, who worked with the United Nations’ political team in Afghanistan at the time.
    Messengers shuttled back and forth between Mr. Karzai and the headquarters of the Taliban leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, in Kandahar. Mr. Karzai envisioned a Taliban surrender that would keep the militants from playing any significant role in the country’s future.
    But Washington, confident that the Taliban would be wiped out forever, was in no mood for a deal.
    “The United States is not inclined to negotiate surrenders,” Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said in a news conference at the time, adding that the Americans had no interest in leaving Mullah Omar to live out his days anywhere in Afghanistan. The United States wanted him captured or dead.

Returning for the evacuation was nothing short of chaos, the top brass had no perception of the situation on the ground and we were mostly a law unto ourselves, there was no time to ask higher for permission, it was down to local command.

There was never going to be good outcome if Afghanistan couldn't abandon it's tribal roots and develop the ring road. Once the Taliban took over the government it was game over for the US. 20 years of men and women fighting for a country that did not want us there. What other outcome could there have possibly been?
