Buttigieg: U.S. Soldiers Feel ‘Ashamed’ — Trump Is Taking Away Their Honor
Breitbart ^ | 10/15/2019 | Pam Key

During Tuesday’s 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 didn’t think we should have gone to Iraq in the first place. I think we need to get out of Afghanistan. But it’s 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 we’re 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.

Nobody can take someone’s honor from them. If you lose your honor it is through your own actions not the actions of others.

I am a Viet Nam Vet also and this guy (should I call him that) makes me feel ashamed that someone like him/her is even running for President of the United States. So sad that our American Values are being flushed down the toilet.

Unbelievable! Unless the military has done an about face since I got out, the vast majority is conservative and leftists always cut raises, ammunition, equipment, and troops. Therefore, despise leftists.
