Please say a prayer for our troops that are in harms way.
Some thoughts: They are being sent on a mission that can never be compared to victories achieved on famous battlefields. Despite that, they go willing to do their duty. They may not agree with President Biden, but this is their job, and they go willingly. They won't receive recognition from their comrades in arms, as this is not a real battle. (At least not yet and I hope it stays that way.)
This mission is a retreat. Real soldiers do not like to retreat. And these are real soldiers. I personally know some of the fine men of the 82nd Airborne, and one is my SIL. He wants to win. He trains to win. This, however, is not winning. It is cleaning up after a senile incompetent resident and woke generals. He knows that and still does his duty.
These guys on that tarmac in Kabul are not woke. Their talents and training are completely underutilized. Their mission is thankless. They have left their families and loved ones at home. It is a thankless sacrifice, unless we do our duty and thank them.
Think of these men, and if you ever run into one of them, thank them. They deserve it. They are doing their duty no matter what.
“Where are all those 81 million Biden voters either protesting him or supporting him?”
They are probably stuck in SYTL/Paragon Group server fiber near Weisbaden, Germany.
