A lot of questions recently around President Biden's decision to withdraw all remaining US troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. That's a complicated topic with a lot of emotion mixed in so thought it would be a fun conversation to pull my buddy Sayre Payne into.
Sayre was a Ranger-qualified Infantry Officer and served as a platoon leader for the entirety of a twelve month deployment to Zhari District, Afghanistan with the 101st Airborne Division’s 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment during the troop surge of 2010-2011.
