Monty, I love that euphemism for what in fact is a debacle. “Screwed up” is being a bit of an arse and getting the wife off-side. And “getting it done” as people are falling from planes to get out of the place is not a successful op. But you know that already.

Breast cancer screening appointments suspended across all of NSW in response to lockdown
Happened in Victoria in April 2020, and the devastating results have already been documented in the Lancet.
“Combined with interruptions in cancer screening programmes and delays in scans and diagnostics, a spike in late cancer presentations and diagnoses is anticipated, making some previously curable tumours more difficult to treat and, unfortunately, further excess deaths unavoidable. This problem prevails internationally, even in countries praised for their management of COVID-19; a study estimated that in the state of Victoria, Australia, around 2500 cancer diagnoses were missed during the first 6 months of the pandemic.”

As for the remark that the Afghans were cowards, the Afghan army sustained more casualties per year than the US army did in the entire 20 year occupation.
Roger – They aren’t cowards, but they don’t want to fight the Taliban who are widely regarded as more observant champions of Sunni Islam.
There is an interesting parallel with the Western Desert campaign in 1940-41. Graziani’s infantry divisions at Sidi Barrani were manned by conscripts. Those guys didn’t want to fight for Mussolini and surrendered as soon as they could. Then, shortly after that battle, when the Australians arrived at Tobruk for the first time it was the same: despite the strong engineered defenses which proved so useful for 9th Div in the siege the Italians would fire one or two shots for appearances, then surrender as the 6th Div guys assaulted the posts.
When Rommel arrived he was able to draw upon the more professional Italian divisions like Ariete and Trento, but even then during El Alamein the 9th Div found that Italian regiments were carefully deported with German battalions and regiments between them, and the Wehrmacht guys were tasked with keeping the Italians facing forwards. Which they still didn’t do if they could get away with it.
Having said this there was nothing wrong with the Italian soldiers, even the conscripts. In certain cases they fought like tigers. But the guys just didn’t want to fight for Il Duce.
Hence the bug out in Afghanistan, once the stiffening Americans were no longer there. The guys certainly didn’t want to fight for the corrupt regime or their corrupt officers, and certainly not against holy warriors of Islam.

“Afghanistan: fleeing president ‘had cars and helicopter full of cash’
By Hugh Tomlinson
The Times
An hour ago August 18, 2021
1 Comment
As the Taliban closed in, President Ghani is said to have insisted on a dignified exit from Kabul. When the end came, it was anything but.
The president of Afghanistan fled his palace headed for Tajikistan, and then issued a statement on Facebook: “To avoid bloodshed, I thought it would be better to leave.” Within hours, Taliban militants were filmed posing in his presidential office.
If reports from the Russian government are to be believed, and they are no friends of Ghani, he was followed out of his presidential palace by a motorcade and a helicopter loaded with cash.
“As for the collapse of the [outgoing] regime, it is most eloquently characterised by the way Ghani fled Afghanistan,” a Russian embassy spokesman told the RIA news agency yesterday.
“Four cars were full of money. They tried to stuff another part of the money into a helicopter but not all of it would fit, and some was left on the tarmac.”
Condemnation and mockery of Ghani, 72, has been swift from Afghan leaders left behind to negotiate a handover of power to the Taliban and the civilians who stormed Kabul airport on Monday in desperate hope of a flight.

Biden screwed up while doing it, but at least he got it done in the end.
