"Rules for Surrender."

Let's say you're a crusty old coot with a thin grasp on reality, that nobody voted for, just against his opponent.  And because of this you have a deep-seated need to humiliate yourself and your Country in front of a national audience.  Heck, an international audience! 

So you go against the advice of all your dozens of generals and admirals and highly-paid consultants and order our last few soldiers out of Afghanistan.  No peace treaty.  No government-level, non-aggression pact.  Just plain-ass surrender.  Sort of like Japan did on the decks of the our Battleship Missouri.  Plain-ass, whimpering surrender.  Every bit as shocking.    

So what's the best way to surrender these days?  Is there an etiquette for dropping your trousers and spreading your cheeks and showing the enemy your ass?  What are the "rules for surrender" these days?  

Normally, when a Fighting Force intends to depart an operational theater, they:

     1.  Remove all sensitive military equipment and supplies, then totally and completely destroy what's left.

     2.  Evacuate the civilians and "friendlies." Every single one.

     3.  Order out the military, turn off the lights.

In this case, good ol' Joe O'Biden quite obviously didn't get the memo.  He did it bass-ackwards.  Joe's "Plan," such as it was, looked like this:  

     1.  Give the enemy all your nicest and newest and biggest military equipment and materiel.  $200 Billion Dollars worth of equipment.  Equipment that will make it ever harder for us to confront them in the future.  Materiel so advance they cannot use it; it's surely on its way to Beijing and Moscow for reverse-engineering.  That includes more than 600,000 small arms, 75,000 Armored Personnel Carriers, 2,000 tanks, 40 planes and 166 Blackhawk helicopters.  In one swell foop Joe gave  Afghanistan the Second Largest Fleet of Attack Helicopter Gunships in the World! 

     2.  Evacuate the military.  They might get a hangnail.

     3.  Leave the civilians and friendly locals to fend for themselves.

Wha....? 

Joe O'Biden has "managed" in just a couple of weeks to lose a war we'd won decades ago, leave our allies under cover of darkness and without notice, alienate our allies, sentence millions of Afghan women to a life of pitiful, frightening servitude, guarantee those who have assisted us a death sentence, arm 6th Century maniacal goat herders with modern weaponry, give America a black eye on the international stage from which it may never recover, make America look like Libya, and give our enemies a nightly dose of "Hate America First" on every TV channel except those that Liberal Americans watch.  

Like CNN(LOL), and MSPMS, and ABC, and CBS, and NBC, and PBS, and NPR...  

Think about that last line for a moment.  The only people who aren't learning just how feckless and maladroit our elected leaders are...are those who put them in office.  

That's pretty tough to do in just a couple of weeks!

Kind of makes you think he's planned all this.  Or maybe those behind him have.  Or maybe nobody's planned anything at all and they're just letting it all free-wheel, believing it will all work out if their socialist little heart's remain in the right place.  Putting it all on the pass line and rolling the bones.  With our collective asses on the line.  Don't know about you, but all of this makes me more than a little nervous.  It'd be nice to know the Plan for "What Comes Next."  

It'd also be nice if they knew...
