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.

Un. Effing. Real. What a disgrace.

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.

EXCELLENT point!! Black Lives Matter? Then why the hell aren't you in Chicago trying to help that city keep some of those young, innocent black lives from getting shot??

Come on. We all know the "gun violence" is Chicago is the NRA's and Mitch McConnell's fault. (lol)

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.

Q. What's the difference between the military from which I retired in 1990 and the military of 2021? A. The 1990 version had adult leadership.

"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!

I agree with everything you say here.

I am convinced every day my vote for Trump was the right vote. I am also convinced every day the GOP should kick Trump to the curb, he needs to go away.

I can't vote for a Democrat. But you and me are not going to win elections for the GOP. The GOP needs to do better.

Could not agree more strongly.

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