I am related to several, and am personal friends with many more. without fail, they are proud of their service and the mission they fulfilled. so are their families.
(a) you’re being ridiculously dramatic, (b) you sound like beto o’rourke right now, (c) I am ashamed of how many conservatives have flipped positions on the WoT because of two decades of constant MSM propaganda — and that is simply undeniable; the WoT had an approval rate of 90-odd percent when it commenced. (d) people need to grow a pair.
20 years from now, the same people that have flipped on the WoT will be saying they supported impeaching trump. mark it down; it will happen. it’s caused by the same lack of conviction.
I stopped supporting Bush when he behaved like a coward. He didn’t stand up for those men, he curled up into a ball and let the media beat him to death.
Of coarse they are proud of their service they should be, that doesn’t change the fact that they were betrayed by their leaders, and riding bikes with them or painting pictures of them is not the same as abandoning them. We supported Afghanistan. The horse soldiers at the beginning showed what our warriors could do. We could have won that war and been out of that hell hole if we hadn’t turned it into a conventional war we couldn’t win and opened another front in Iraq. Want to tell me again when Al Quida was in Baghdad?.
