More thought went into this: than went into this: which resulted in this: The United States could have extracted personnel before extracting soldiers. We could have helped the Afghanis who helped us escape their coming murderers. We could have waited until winter, which would have naturally slowed the Taliban’s advance.
How ironic that now gay Afghanis will lose their lives at the hands of the brutal Taliban! Additionally, because of Biden’s inept withdrawal of our soldiers, thousands of Afghan citizens who helped us and women who rose to local leadership positions will be murdered. Young girls will be raped and some will be forced to marry Taliban soldiers. The videos coming out of Afghanistan are heartbreaking.
This thread should have been titled "The Deadly Consequences of Virtue Signaling." Deadly not just in Afghanistan, but Boston, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and dozens of other cities that Progressive policies have destroyed.
And this for the sake of bringing 2,500 Americans home?? 2,500 service personnel who were keeping the peace, maintaining stability, and fending off terrorists?? WE STILL HAVE OVER 28,000 SOLDIERS STATIONED IN SOUTH KOREA, FOR GOSH SAKES!! I TRY to maintain some civility when I respond on these posts, but this entire debacle has just pushed me to my limits! Unreal. Just unreal.
"The government you elect is the government you deserve." Let's not forget that the Never Trumpers are just as much to blame for this atrocity as the far left. These snowflakes were so offended by Trump's brutish personality that they completely lost sight of the man's ongoing policy wins and elected Joe Biden instead. Tell me, did ANYTHING Trump ever do offend you nearly as much as the images of those people dropping from that C-17? And don't go raving at me about the January 6th insurrection, that was three months after election day. This is what CRAP for leadership looks like, America. Go ahead, elect more of these liberal, mush-peddling snot rags because the ones we have already are doing such a fine job!
horrific and sad
One of the most telling comments was "We didn't expect Afganistan to fall that fast". So they expected it to fall, just not while on their vacations.
How telling that the person falling from the plane died as a result of the same ideology as the people who jumped from the World Trade Centers.
And have any of you noticed??? Where are the lefty trolls who usually are so quick to jump on these posts?? Cowards!
Un. Effing. Real. What a disgrace.

The exit (escape) from Afghanistan is a testimony to the Biden administration’s incompetence. There’s no rational defense for this spectacle.
