    The one that is uncontroversially an abysmal failure would be “Co authored withdrawal from Afghanistan”. That is incredible someone would even want to mention it.

      Do you think you could do better? I certainly wouldn’t want the job

        Of course I could do better, give a map to a toddler and they could have done better. Think about it this way, which would you chose to try to defend, an airport in a city of 4.5 million (semi-hostile) people, or at an AFB that they put billions of dollars into 1 hour north surrounded by desert?

          I mean this response is indicative of a lack of critical thinking about what it means to head up the entire US army

          Not that I have a hard on for Harris, the military industrial complex or neoliberalism, but I do recognize that overly simplistic solutions like this are extremely ill-considered at best.
