Trump needs to act on his instincts and end this deep state quagmire.

I don’t even bother reading beyond the headlines of these stories anymore. U.S. military veterans get all the respect I can give, but I really have to wonder what the hell us going through the mind of anyone who puts on a military uniform these days and places their safety in the hands of a government and military leadership as fouled up as ours.

Sorry for the loss of an Americans, but why are we still there? 17 years and counting and virtually nothing has been accomplished (besides getting a lot of people killed and maimed).

Because Trump is not being all he can be. I say that as a very strong supporter of Trump and as someone who strongly believes Trummp is Making America Great Again. But he is committing several unforced errors. Remaining in Afghanistan is one of them. He promised to get us out of Bush-Clinton entanglements. Just do it!

The Taliban, Sunni Terrorists. Where are the Russophiles now, since Russia is supplying these people? At seeing the headline, I would have thought this was an ISIS act originally.

Not statistics. Two more families devastated needlessly, for nothing. Two more mothers grieve today, and for the rest of their lives.

Scorch the earth, and leave.
