“Is that the best we have to offer, and honor, all whose lives we already lost there?”
Yes.
Unless you want even more American blood to soak that hellhole.
I say not another drop. As do all American soldiers there now, and all who have been there.
They will be the very first to celebrate.
But you’d know that if you knew any of them.
Have you ever lost anyone, any buddies, in war? Do you know what honor means to them? Do you know why they try so hard to rescue their own? Do you know the investment our troops have already made? Can you with all honesty tell them to “just suck it up” your loss of life was not worth the effort, we are throwing in the towel and giving the country to the Taliban”?
With your sentiments prevailing our military troops will experience the demoralizing “Vietnam syndrome” all over again, and at a time we cannot afford that.
I wonder if we can hear from guys that actually did combat there multiple times, and not from middle age dudes in their homes that are just military hobbyists at this point that need the war porn, and really otherwise not know the names of the last 3 people that died there for a conflict started when many of them were kids?
