#1 Punching down and blaming the little guy. Classic elite deep state behavior. We know for a fact they knew things were going badly and they outright lied about it. Now it's our fault this happened? Fuck you.

#2 Improvise, Adapt and Overcome. Not too late to turn this into an effective object lesson. Seven step or phase process follows:

1. Find ways to get the Americans and coalition partners out and get them home.
2. Ignore the deadlines. Leave a military contingent (with air support) on the ground responsible for the destruction of bridges, dams, power generating stations, cratering of airfields, cell towers, and anything of value over $1.00.
3. TCDD the poppy fields.
4. Kill all the animals.
5. Kill anyone who comes near you and anyone else within range. If it moves, kill it again. Put all survivors to flight, creating a massive refugee problem for Pakistan.
6. Ruck up, get out, but promise to return to administer a booster shot if necessary.
7. Provide media coverage of each phase. Send videos to Pakistan.

If you have no questions, begin immediately.

#3 It's either insanity or the people saying it are just assholes.

#6 Kill anyone who comes near you and anyone else within range.

Channeling his inner Rob O'Neill.
