During Tuesdays CNN-New York Times Democratic debate, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg said President Donald Trump withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria has made them ashamed, and was taking away their honor.
Buttigieg said, The slaughter going on in Syria is not a consequence of American presence, it a consequence of a withdrawal and a betrayal by this president of American allies and American values. Look, I didnt think we should have gone to Iraq in the first place. I think we need to get out of Afghanistan. But its also the case that a small number of specialized, special operations forces and intelligence capabilities were the only thing that stood between that part of Syria and what were seeing now, which is the beginning of a genocide and the resurgence of ISIS. Meanwhile soldiers in the field are reporting that for the first time they feel ashamed ashamed of what their country has done.

Imagine how they would feel if this deviant became their Commander in Chief.
I bet US Soldiers can’t wait to have a Demonut President running their lives ,D’oh
“Taking away their honor”= bringing them home safely
I know a lot of active and retired Marines, they are all voting for Trump.
IF true, and it wouldn’t surprise me since American soldiers have soft hearts, that’s too bad. Shut up and soldier, soldier. That’s what they told me.
In the meantime, perhaps the Democrats (and any soldiers who think they know better than President Trump) would like to tell us and our service members how many American dead and how many taxpayer dollars will be enough to meet our ‘commitments’ to the Kurds?
And whose land we’re going to expropriate for the new Kurdish Homeland?
And what we’re going to do with the non-Kurds who are already there?
And how we’re going to keep their justifiably PO’d neighbors from overrunning and destroying this brand new Kurdistan?
And finally, how we going to get the highly factionalized Kurds to unify and not fight each other for dominance in their new country?
It is time for us get our troops out the miserable dumpster fire that is the Middle East and invite the Iranians and the Sov, er, Russians to get mired in it.
PETE HAS DESTROYED MORE MILITARY HONORS THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY.
Ya gotta love how Buttplug and the rest of the Donkeys are now the party of perpetual war.
The American people are sick of the constant foreign wars in which America has no compelling national interest and no clear objectives.
PETE IS JUST PISSED BECAUSE HIS WIFE’S HEMORROIDS HAVE PROLAPSED.
Mayor Pete could go join the U.N. peacekeeping force or enlist as a mercenary for whichever combatant group that he favors.
It does not appear to be a two-sided dispute.
Yes of course, and a top issue with Americans is ILLEGAL immigration, but not one question about it. The Dems think RUSSIA and IMPEACHMENT are going to inspire the electorate? They're totally detached.
What would “RUMP RANGER” buttboy know about HONOR?
He is a liar. Its the opposite.
I asked my soldier son about this when he stopped by our house after PT this morning. He doesnt agree with Buttplug.
Their “honor”?
This whole stupid line of bull is over a token number of soilders, that were expected to engage in combat between a NATO member and the PKK?
Either the Dems are hoping the stay at home keyboard warriors on the right actually buy this, or they have gone full W. Bush.
I can sort of relate: I didn’t always agree with my orders when issued to me, but I saluted smartly and carried them out to the best of my abilities! Soldiers, and by extension... airmen, seamen and marines follow the orders of those appointed above them... it’s in their oath of enlistment! There’s nothing in the oath that addresses shame or humiliation... or feeeeeeeeeeeeee-lings.
I retired from the Air Force in ‘96, and I do not display my retirement certificate because it bears Bill Clinton’s signature... (spit). He was the CiC, and his orders really did roll downhill... I saluted smartly and carried out my orders to the best of my abilities.
If today’s military members cannot overcome their “shame, humiliation, and feeeeeeeee-lings... then perhaps they should consider another profession.
And having a fag C-in-C isn’t anything to be ashamed of or takes away honor?
Weve been at one war or another all of butt plugs life. He apparently skate boarded through it - like most Democrats. Gabby a very noticeable exception.
Its the other way around. Buttigieg has a husband, making him the wife.
If just two of his former bunkmates butt-buddies told him they "feel ashamed", that was enough for Butt-gig to claim "soldiers in the field are reporting...". This is how fake news stories are born.
Meadow muffins Booty Judge.
Just look at the military personnel’s reaction when the President is in the room.
You Pete, not so much.
