It is more than that.
In each congressional district there are families of folks still in Afghanistan.
The Congress-critters are gonna feel like _they_ are being held hostage before this if over...
and they _know_ who did this to them—Joe Biden.
I've expressed my doubts in the recent past about whether Americans would ever rise up against our politicians. It seems this particular debacle is hitting far too close to home for some.
Add in the past 18+ months, massive "real" inflation spikes, and never-ending COVID mandates, and some of the people are would tight as a drum. It won't take much to have it all snap, and the politicians wouldn't fare well under that type of situation.
Remember Viet Nam - the Democrats did this same thing to President Ford.
I was once a soldier. We were actually the Div Ready Force 1 Company (B Co, 1/508) for our Battalion in the 3rd Brigade, 82d Abn Div.; and were headed to the cattle trucks in the B Lane around 3 a.m. when a Jeep from Div HQ came up asking for the CO. Next thing we knew we were told it was too late and those already in the trucks got out and we all went to the Company Day Room. Div HQ sent two old TVs down and we watched the news reels of the Kaos. Our plan if you could call it one, was to jump (parachute) into a park north of the AmEmb with 1st, 2d &3d Platoons (line doggies/Infantry) to dig in to the tree line and us in 4th Platoon (Weapons Platoon) were to dig in and lay fields of fire for the motors and 106/90mm recoilless anti tank guns.
Carter cut the fuel and we walked and walked everywhere - 6 miles to greenramp for jumps, 12 miles back from Sicily DZ, etc. He turned the heat off in the barracks until it was below 35 degrees outside. What a God Awful President Carter was.
I always thought Carter would remain the worst president in US History, but the woke joke Biden far surpassed the shear incompetence - along with divisiveness today, President Carter seems saintly.
Bingo.
Agree!
Look at El Paso....a heavy Dem city....with Ft Bliss.
Between family service members and contract workers, over there, Reps are likely getting earfuls. Rightly so.
