Yes, Marcus. They did die in vain.

About what I expected from FP, it’s our fault.
He does have a point about us not holding our
leadership accountable though.
Why democrats seem to want to lose wars is beyond
me.

Yes, Marcus. They did die in vain.

In these interminable conflicts driven by incoherent (at best) strategy men such as these can only derive what comfort there is in what Lee at Appomattox stated to his army;

“You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection.”

whatever this clip says about their having died in vain, people need to shut up or take it up with congress, who makes these decisions, and thank the military who follow the orders of the American people via congress.

Period.
