      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?

      Watched it, it’s a short recap of the event. the Taliban leaders gave their say, maybe not as thorough reasoning as you’d want. 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.

    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.

One rocket landed off-base and the others I think were shot down by another gun. There were 12 set up across the airport.

    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.

    82nd airborne…last ones out.

The whole thing was absolutely embarrassing and infuriating. Taliban shot warning shots at us multiple times CLOSE. Wanted to massacre them all so badly.

U rabid terrorists were never meant to have been on our land and our civilians were already geared up to fight your CIA-trained rabid KPF in Khost, so would've joined Taliban to kick u our of Kabul too. Lol we saw u Uzs foreign invader terrorists running away in the night. Another year...we would've never allowed that, forget Taliban. Your traitors got general amnesty and most ran away with u. Afghanistan is not your house or a US state or colony never forget that. It wasgreat seeing our Taliban sending u US and NATO foreign invader terrorists, ALL your private contractors and Afghan puppets running. Anyways, after the ISKP attack u killed your own Afghan puppets and some of our people who were leaving for a better financial future. Majority of us Afghans supported/support Taliban and our Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government and security forces now...u should've seen the heros welcomes our Taliban heros got as they rolled peacefully through Afghanistan anx how in most areas our civilians were attacking the ex-ANA traitors. August 15th 2021 was the happiest and best day of our lives, only your traitors are crying. Warmonger, u lost and we would've fought to kick u out like u ran away like headless chickens in the night. I love those Talibs who reminded u that u were unwanted foreigners on OUR soil.
