Koma, atayikidwa m'ndime ya makumi atatu ndichiwiri ya nkhani yomwe ili ndi mutu wakuti "Biden To Draw All Combat Troops Kuchokera ku Afghanistan pofika Sept. 11," the Times inanena: "M'malo mwa asilikali olengezedwa ku Afghanistan, United States idzadalira gulu lankhondo lachinsinsi la Special Operations, Pentagon makontrakitala ndi ogwira ntchito zachinsinsi kuti apeze ndikuwukira zoopsa kwambiri za Qaeda kapena Islamic State, akuluakulu amakono komanso akale aku America. anati.”
Matthew Hoh, msilikali wankhondo wa Marine yemwe mu 2009 adakhala mtsogoleri mkulu wa boma la US atule pansi udindo kuchokera ku State Department potsutsa nkhondo ya Afghanistan, adanena anzanga ku Institute for Public Accuracy Lachitatu: "Mosasamala kanthu kuti asilikali a 3,500 omwe adavomereza a US achoka ku Afghanistan, asilikali a US adzakhalapobe ngati zikwi za ntchito zapadera ndi antchito a CIA ku Afghanistan ndi kuzungulira Afghanistan, kupyolera mumagulu ambiri. za ndege zoukira anthu ndi ma drones okhala pamtunda ndi pa ndege zonyamulira ndege m’derali, ndiponso ndi mazana a mizinga yoponya zombo zapamadzi ndi sitima zapamadzi.”
Sitikumva pang'ono za izi, koma nkhondo ya ndege ya US ku Afghanistan yakhala gawo lalikulu la ntchito za Pentagon kumeneko. Ndipo kwatha chaka chimodzi, boma la US silinachitepo kanthu poulula kuchuluka kwa zomwe zaphulitsidwazi.
“Sitikudziwa, chifukwa boma lathu silikufuna kuti titero,” ofufuza akhama Medea Benjamin ndi Nicolas Davies. analemba mwezi watha. “Kuchokera January 2004 mpaka February 2020, asitikali aku US adasunga kuchuluka kwa mabomba ndi zida zomwe zidaponya ku Afghanistan, Iraq ndi Syria, ndikufalitsa ziwerengerozi pafupipafupi, pamwezi. Zokambirana za Airpower, zomwe zinali kupezeka mosavuta kwa atolankhani ndi anthu. Koma mu Marichi 2020, olamulira a Trump adasiya mwadzidzidzi kufalitsa Summaries za US Airpower, ndipo olamulira a Biden mpaka pano sanasindikizepo chilichonse. ”
Nkhondo yaku US ku Afghanistan sitha chifukwa Purezidenti Biden ndi atolankhani aku US atiuza choncho. Monga Guljumma ndi anthu ena ambiri aku Afghan adakumana nazo, asitikali omwe ali pansi si njira yokhayo yankhondo zowopsa.
