Sad to welcome these youngsters to the club of the betrayed folks that served honorably and with dedication. (See my tag line)

It’s hard to get men to become cops these days. And now it will be hard to get them to join the military.
This will not end well.

No Soldier should feel bad if he did his duty honorably and to the best of his ability.

This isn’t the end. This is just the beginning of the end. It’s barely begun.

I thought Born on the 4th of July was a good movie.

But the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.

We dont need men in the military anymore.
Transgender females can take up the slack.

They will reflect on the loss of their brothers in a different light.

The big question is, how do we take care of these veterans whose emotional health is fragile to begin with and now they have to face the emotional stress of knowing that everything they did to ensure the freedom of the Afghani people was for naught?
I bet you won’t find any of that in the trillion dollar infrastructure bill.

Roger that.
Oh, and don’t forget those delightful non-binaries, soy boys, twinks, cucks, bull dykes, etc Milley’s army.

True, but if I were a family member of one of those killed or wounded, I would be after some neocons right now, and not to shake their hand.

Earlier today I read where a FReeper was asking for prayers as their 19 year old son was in Basic Training. And is afraid the son will be sent to fight somewhere due to Biden’s stupid demented incompetency.
I refrained from asking them the obvious question, as I didn’t want to appear crass.
But WHY? Why would a 19 year old join the military in 2021. No other options, I guess.

We didn’t get a chance to see President Trump’s withdrawal plan in action.
We have had the chance to see the Democrat’s withdrawal plan in action.
Not very pretty, is it?

Anyone who remained in the U.S. military after that retarded baboon in the White House in 2001 insisted that “Islam is peace” has no reason to complain. Americans with even a marginal understanding of our country and our history should have seen this fiasco coming from a mile away.
