WOW ... Strong anti-war comments here from a GOP Congressman.

He says there is a war cartel and names names!

Amazing.

President Trump had already ordered the phased withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
A Dementia Joe did was first of cancel the withdrawal then get right back to carrying out President Trump’s withdrawal after a meaningless delay.

Unfortunately, we’ve wasted too much time, money, and lives in that cesspool. If their men are unwilling or unable to defend against the Taliban, that’s their problem.

My friends who were there said, to a man, that there was nothing in the whole country worth fighting for, especially not the people.

Occasionally some wisdom does manage to accompany age. I’m not claiming to be wise, but I have learned a couple things in spite of myself.

I believe there is a war cartel. And I believe most wars are meant to feed that cartel. They don’t care about the innocents who die to fill their pockets.

Reagan had it right, peace through strength. Be so strong no country wants to challenge you, and stay out of other countries’ business.

Yea Matt, that may be true but we have lost so so much over there.
Our Military men and women deserve to leave with their heads up.
So many have lost everything and families were destroyed because of bad political decisions. We should lay waste to those bastards once and for all time! Make it so no one can live there again.

Remember when Democrats and their propaganda arm the Corporate Media had a giant meltdown when Trump wanted to bring the boys home? Yet now Biden is doing the same thing and all we hear are crickets.

I was against Pres Bush going on the ground there too. Hey if the Russians with all their brutality couldn’t subdue them what chance do we?

Can anyone tell me why our military left ONE piece of usable equipment behind?

Debate all you want about was right right to stay or go, I want to know why we didn't take our equipment with us when we left or put it in a pile and blow it up with the mother of all bombs.

Either Military Intelligence is an oxymoron or this is something sinister.

The biggest mistake we made was trying to nation build. We pissed away so much American blood, time, and money on this rat hole; it’s disgraceful.
We should have kicked the talibans behinds so bad, they would never have wanted to attack us again, and let it serve as a reminder to hadji to never try it again. If they were to raise their hands towards us again, we destroy them completely.
That is how wars are supposed to be waged and won.
