Latest word is 11 Marines and 1 Navy medic dead with 15 wounded. Our commanders are trying to make deals with the Taliban for protection from ISIS-K at the airport. What a shit show at the cost of American lives.

A lot of blood on Bidens hands.


I hope those that supported him as the kinder gentler candidate are happy with that choice now.

I've been thinking the same thing.  Normally you can look at all this bullshit the Left is spouting and just shake your head.  This time, I'm pissed because all this nonsense has cost untold American and Afghani lives.  The right thing for Biden to do would be to resign, but then we'd be left with someone even more incompetent.

Afghanistan...

This is no surprise, it has happened to EVERY country that has gone there. They leave in a river of blood.

To not have seen this coming, is like expecting a Demorate to have  common sense .


I knew this was going to happen the day we sent the first boots over.

We will take losses ................ BUT will we learn, the price of stupidity is very high
1776 ................... what happened!

Pep, we won't learn or sadly the elites won't care.  To think either side is looking out for our best interests is naive.  They all talk a good game but it's not our interests they look out for.  First and foremost, politicians, especially on the national level look to remain in power.  If we benefit, its luck.

+1 -- They (the politicians on both sides of he aisle) serve their globalist corporate masters. We the people and our military get the shaft every time.

+2, I think thats why Trump was so vilified by both sides of the aisle. He wasn't a politician.

Sad situation...

As an active duty AF member for over 28yrs with over 3 years in SE Asia during the Iran/Iraq war and Desert Shield/Desert Storm era I find it difficult to believe that there was not better intel and planning.

Both military and civilian leaders should be held accountable.

Absolutely.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

So now they are claiming to have taken out an ISIS-K planner in an over the horizon unmanned aircraft strike. That makes no sense as if they had the intel why not take him out sooner. Nothing but a distraction from the failures.

There was plenty of Intel, Biden ignored it

So the Over the Horizon Gang took out Hasan, the Office Birthday Party Planner down in HR.  Good grief!

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!

 For only a war waged for revenge or defense can be just"
