A father sent out a tweet today sharing a question his son asked:
My son suffered massive injuries including lost limb from a blast in Afghanistan and he called me the other night and asked, “Dad what did I fight and suffer for?” SadAbout 2500 members of the military lost their lives in Afghanistan. Many more were injured.
All for nothing.
Last month Biden promised America that Afghanistan would not fall to the Taliban.

The Biden regime blew into Washington like a hurricane bent of reversing everything Trump had done and made a glorious spectacle of it, overflowing with hubris and arrogance. They terminated Trump's border policies that had a lid on illegal immigration and they created a disaster.
Now they've created a disaster in Afghanistan. It turns out that arrogance and hubris are poor substitutes for intelligence.
Look at how appalling embarrassingly wrong Secretary of State Blinken was about the state of play in Afghanistan during his House testimony back in June. Either our leaders are bullshitting or our intel about the facts on the ground is a joke (or both!).https://t.co/tz8vCWcBPE pic.twitter.com/SvrtGqK3nP

It's not getting any better
US intelligence agencies who said just 4 days ago that Kabul could fall in 90 days have revised the figure to 72 hours https://t.co/v2XUuPVcKX

Trump had an agreement with the Taliban
The February 2020 agreement called for the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops by May 2021 in return for the Taliban breaking with terrorist groups, sharply reducing violence and entering into peace negotiations with the Afghan government.Trump's negotiating style was far different from the Biden boobs.
Former President Donald Trump recently gave a colorful recounting of his historic call with Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada last year in the shadow of potential peace negotiations with the Afghan government.Trump meant what he said."We're going to come back and hit you harder than any country has ever been hit," Trump said he told Akhundzada, recounting the threatened consequences if the Taliban failed to make peace. "And your village, where I know you are and where you have everybody, that's going to be the point at which the first bomb is dropped."
A few hours after that March 2020 call, Trump put an insurance payment down on the threat. When the Taliban attacked an Afghan checkpoint shortly after Trump hung up, U.S. fighter jets rained down fury on the attackers. A stung Taliban immediately called for de-escalation, saying it was committed to the "plans to implement all parts of the agreement one after another to prevent conflict escalation."
Trump and his advisers relentlessly used air power to keep the Taliban in check, making the appearance of a deadly Predator drone or warplane a constant threat. In 2019, the year before the Taliban agreed to peace talks, U.S. aircraft flew 2,434 strike sorties, releasing 7,423 weapons, the highest total ever recorded by the Air Force's Central Command.When Biden was elected, Taliban leaders knew they had a sucker on a hook and they ignored the agreement.
And why not? Biden is barely coherent and his staff is incompetent. He abandoned Trump's plan.Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said on Thursday the Taliban were failing to abide by their pledges under the deal, which was supposed to open the door to a peace settlement between the insurgents and the U.S.-backed Kabul government.
The U.S. Air Force recently acknowledged a steep decline in air sorties on Biden's watch.Instead, Biden chose to put his tail between his legs and run. He signaled the Taliban that he would do nothing and would abandon Afghanistan. As US forces hastily withdrew, the Taliban has taken one city after another. That haste has been costly. Biden has actually armed the Taliban.

Biden has agreed to pay the ransom.
Obama paid the ransom at Benghazi.
The Democrats understand payoffs.
The Democrat Party Crime Syndicate will get a portion of the ransom for agreeing to not bomb the Taliban.
The US taxpayers pay both our enemies….the Taliban and the Democrats.
Biden can go to hell.
Maybe later he’s on vacation right now ,LOL

Hero son, America has produced enough scummy and gullible people that Communists were able to steal the election. I have always feared that this would happen. Our forces now fight to protect totalitarianism.
If the USA needs to go to war, the Founding Fathers made a wise provision for doing so: The Constitution (remember that?) granted the sole power to Declare War to the Congress.
If Congress were to Declare War, then that declaration becomes the one and only objective until Victory is reached. Victory means completely vanquishing the enemy.
No Declaration, no lawful war, no enemy, no Victory.
We — what remains of our nation — have paid a very steep price for ignoring the Constitution.
They still consider the USA their enemy, and will attack us at home if they can. Maybe even on September 11 to make the point.
What did he fight for, NOTHING!
The Viet Nam syndrome
If you know someone who served please stay close to them at this time. It’s tough duty. Many are suffering and may make a bad choice
And just think: The possibility exists we could have this asshat as POTUS for 7.5 more YEARS. Thanks a lot RINO party for doing your part to prevent election fraud
Trump left Biden a pile of paperwork about Afghanistan on the President’s Desk and Biden tore it up
They can and they will. If they're not already doing so, their fighters and suicide bombers will soon be crossing the southern border and making their way to their staging areas.
You are right.
Families destroyed. Bodies mutilated. Unknown suffering.
There will be a lot of...”for what??”
> No Declaration, no lawful war, no enemy, no Victory. <
Right you are. And a good part of the blame here goes to Congress. They are too cowardly to vote a declaration of war up or down. So instead they give the president “authorization” to start a war whenever the president feels like it.
It’s a king-like power. The Founders would be appalled.
The blood of all those who will be murdered and maimed by Talibani Animals is on Biden’s Alzheimer’s hands
Biden is a career criminal and pedophile, but he makes NO decisions now. He can’t find his bathroom right now.
To line the pockets of politicians and military leaders.
Unbelievable. Afghanistan falls in 4 days, while Biden is eating ice cream ay Camp David.
FAIL.
