“An Afghani interpreter I have come to know well over the years was hung in the streets last night. They melted his DoD ID into his chest. Cut off his arms. And killed his family. His 10 year old daughter was spared and handed off to leadership,” wrote Jon Lonsdale in a note to a friend
Erick, I am a veteran of Army 7th Infantry Division Light.
President Reagan was my Command in Chief for all 6 years.
I was blessed.
What we have today is a situation where leadership has failed the people at many levels.
Like a sweater this administration is unraveling to expose to the American people falsehoods that some just couldn't see before the election.
However imperfect President Trump was checking the boxes of #AmericaFirst
The voting public must get up to speed and support this policy.
We need to cut out the cancer of the #CCP influence at every level of Government, Education and Economy. I said the #CCP!

Erick, I am not well versed. But I am from Macon so that should help. I ask you to use your knowledge of Theology and write about (Copied from web)
Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
Donald Trump gave the incoming administration a conditions-based plan (the Doha Agreement) which would have allowed us to perform a phased, fully planned, and above all, organized withdrawal with retaining the ability to offer air support and intelligence resources the Afghans needed to continue to strengthen their ability to go it alone; in other words, a plan just like the one that we envisioned for South Vietnam back in the day. Just as in Vietnam, the Democrats took over, scrapped any and all planned assistance to the indigenous forces, then set a date certain for the cessation of support and our final withdrawal. And just as in Vietnam, the whole thing collapsed almost immediately. Even Afghan War vets who supported Biden are shocked at this: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2021/08/17/former-army-lietenent-and-biden-supporter-goes-off-on-entire-msnbc-panel-over-presidents-afghanistan-speech-n2594257
It's the same playbook, with the same tragic result, and just as before, the Democrats own it - every last bloodstained bit of it. My Vietnam War veteran friends feel as if the scab over their hearts has been ripped off, leaving them again lost, uncertain, and alone to confront the demons which have haunted them for almost 50 years. If you know one of them, or any Afghan War vet, please pay special attention to them, as they have never been so vulnerable as they are now. Even I, a Vietnam era non combat vet, feel much of the same hurt, betrayal, and rage that they must feel to an immensely greater degree. It's been a LONG time since I felt these emotions in me, and I don't like to admit that I do, but there it is.
Immaturity is the word for Biden and his administration along with incompetence! How anyone can listen to him pass blame when HE made the decisions that lead to this disaster is beyond me! I hope all those clowns that voted for this man-child can see how stupid their vote was! How many more will die because of this administration and their immaturity and incompetence? Disgusting! How long will the angels weep before God roars?
Why did we leave all our missiles, guns, tanks, soldier uniforms and gear for the enemy? I have never understood this. Why wasn't this equipment destroyed, blown up, instead of being left for an enemy to use against us? What dumb bunnies are making these decisions?
The tone deafness of this administration is on full display with the horrible spectacle we are now seeing on TV and the internet. Apparently Biden ignored all the advice he was given by military leaders. He wanted a photo op for the 911 anniversary, but he created chaos that is leading to the death of many citizens of Afghanistan. Every nation in the world will now understandably be reluctant to trust the US for assistance, especially military assistance, while Biden is in the White House.
On top of the atrocities the taliban is committing, Biden had all of the taliban's leaders, IN ONE FREAKING PLACE, posting pictures to social media!!! I guess Joe was taking a nap and couldn't be bothered, either that or they have all our drones in the region and we couldn't take them out regardless.
The Afghan people KNEW what it would mean for the Taliban to regain power. They not only failed to stop it they mostly actively supported the Taliban’s rapid advance.
Had the US waited until winter set in, it would have only delayed the total collapse of the nation state by a few months. And the collapse would have been just as quick as it was this time. Only the Taliban would have to wait for the passes to thaw.
I don’t see any reason to believe either the Afghan government would have been in a better position to resist the Taliban (if they ever really wanted to do so) or that the US would have been better prepared to evacuate those that deserve our protection.
The muhajadeen used to say “the Russians have watches, but we have time.”
We are not the first empire to learn that place is is a problem with no solution.
Now I hope we adopt a drone strike strategy that suppress’s any terrorist camp the Taliban may host. But I am not in favor of another US dollar being spent on a country that does not want our support.
If this doesn't serve to eradicate leftist ideology and political correctness, I don't know what will. I've been on a slow boil for a long time over the left's defund the police movement, BLM, Antifa, et.al. and their anti-capitalist, anti-Constitution bent on literally everything that made this country exceptional. Their handling of the border crisis and COVID turned up the heat a notch. Now, I'm just straight P*SSED as I watch this geriatric marionette urinate on the sacrifices of our soldiers and allies while handing over a country to our sworn enemy. Oh, and bonus: Their rare-earth and precious metals are going to China! THAT should help stabilize our world! Words like "debacle" and abject failure" fall SO short of how bad this really is. And Biden blames Trump?? Trump was a lot of things, but he would've NEVER allowed this to happen.
"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to F$#% things up." Barack Hussein Obama In context Obama was talking about the 2020 election but it obviously applies to just about everything Joe touches.
Biden's speech yesterday was an example of what a stupid person does when confronted with the consequences of their bad decisions: deny, shift the blame, make excuses. As with all stupid people Biden is convinced of his own infallibility. Recall, this is a person who's one achievement in more than four decades of public service was getting re-elected over and over. That's it. Nobody in DC ever sought his counsel, and if they did they never took it because it is well known Biden is one of the dumber members of Congress, now President. He's not Hank Johnson or Maxine Waters or Kamala Harris dumb, but he's pretty close.
If Biden were the captain of the Titanic, he, his crew and the wealthiest men aboard would have taken to the lifeboats, leaving women, children and lower level passengers standing on the deck, he’d have claimed that some deaths were inevitable because there weren’t enough lifeboats for everyone, but he hadn’t arranged that, that was on the shipbuilders, and the drowned passengers should have learned to swim before taking a sea voyage.
Biden is a senile puppet who looks harmless. Who are the puppet masters behind him? What is their game plan? How do our enemies, Russia and China, benefit? How does this affect our relationship with Israel? Are they next to be sacrificed?

Why is this worthless piece of crap still in the Oval Office? I'm shocked that Pelosi has allowed Biden to sit this long.

The Taliban probably would have taken over faster, but they feared the withdrawal was a ruse to draw them out. - If only
I guess it should not surprise me that the Dems still blame Trump for everything. The best we can do now is pray for the souls of those left behind.

This disaster/debacle is going to haunt us for decades to come. We will likely never know the full extent of the damage this will do to us.
