President Donald Trump visited Afghanistan for the first time on Thanksgiving Day with a surprise visit to an airbase in the country to meet American troops.
Trump walked in to Bagram airbase unannounced as troops looked up from their Thanksgiving dinner.
“Alright, who wants some photos,” said one of the officers accompanying Trump into the room. Everybody stood up and cheered.
“You’re very special people … you don’t even know how much the [American] people love and respect you,” he told the troops.

Trump delivered a speech to the troops, touting recent U.S. military victories in Syria, according to a live stream.

God bless our President Donald Trump; keep him safe; give him wisdom, strength and courage to fight the good fight on our behalf.
Is he perfect? No. Is he good? Yes. MAGA!

May Divine providence guide and protect our President. He is a very special man, indefatigable in his service to our nation.
There are few men in our history like him who have occupied the oval office; you can number them on one hand.

Can Air Force One fly Washington D.C. to Afghanistan non-stop?
7,000 miles - according to Google.
However, flying east from D.C. - there are no straight line routes, unless you fly in air space over Russia, or Syria, or Iran.
The only “safe” route I see would be over Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. or Oman, then north over Pakistan.
I have to think a lot a bad guys would notice Air Force One flying near their neighborhood.

Hopefully he had the opportunity to greet at least one Navy Corpse Man.

Kinda hard thinking about the years after President Trump....but we have a lot of good, tough guys....like Nunes, Mulvaney, Pompeo. I'm not too worried.
Right nowm, we need the House back, 60 seats in the Senate and President Trump in 2020/2021.
God sure has been good to us.

“Well, there is that. I’m no dove by any stretch but we need to be out of there.”
LBJ sent men to die in a war he had no intention of winning.
Do we intend to win in Afghanistan?
