They seem to always forget that.

To summarize: "Our current military leadership sucks ass, consider this my resignation."

Joe is on the train that never returned. Despite this truly historic and lethal error, I feel for the guy.

He's been cheating his entire life, passed it down to his son, and leaves oil wherever he goes. He is fastidious because he sees himself in the mirror. This has been his world. A world of misdeeds, trickery and corruption so when he meets someone more corrupt that himself, (aka Taliban) he instinctively trusts them

People have made excuses for him all his life. They said he "misspeaks" or "misstates" or "flubs" but his errors in the real world are lethal for the men and women who

BELIEVE in our nation, created out of hard work and pain, and lakes filled with tears.

Joe can never be them, he knows that and it's the only thing he absorbs as he fails in his leadership. He is not jealous, he just thinks the "real world" is different from theirs. Lacking hope, lacking vision, he stumbles and plods into the future dragging the world behind his dirty boots.

SOME people can’t “flush away” their Principles.
I’m sure he was thinking about those under him who lost their lives serving their country and others who fought so hard, I’m sure he’s angry and rightfully so. I respect men and women like him

One woke student told me that North Korea is impoverished because of white supremacy and systemic racism. It looked like I was offending her when I politely responded that perhaps North Korea is poor because they have a tyrannical government that doesn't protect rights of people, while South Korea does protect rights of people and is prosperous.

Good for you. Politely uncomfortable to them.

Posted by one of the deceased marines' widow just a month ago on FB. Oh yeah, and she's 35 weeks pregnant.

This is on you, Biden and Milley.

Default I am not the only one.

A military retired colonel has stated that Biden should face a court martial.
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=400123981478853

Forget resigning, or impeachment.
I have been saying this since this terrible Afghanistan debacle came to light.
The only difference I see in our thoughts about a court martial is I believe if found guilty, Biden should be sentenced to death, whereas the colonel feels he should be stripped of his presidency and command.
That just isn't enough for what this incompetent fool has done, not only to the country, but the world.
Taiwan, and the Ukraine are now extremely vulnerable, as is Israel.
This fools policies have far more reaching consequences than Afghanistan.
