and to those who voted them in, perhaps you don’t merit being damned to hell but you are America-hating b@stards even if you didn’t know the extent of the evil you were supporting at the time.

What is his gender? No wonder we have taken casualties? “ He is impressed with the daily heroism, looks like this time someone got too close to us”.

Biden probably thinks it happened days ago and that we should move on.

I don't know. I like the details. Biden is not able. It is what it is. They had put a lid on everything this am.

I like that Trump image. It’s very appropriate, especially now.

But it also saddens and frustrates me. The country had exactly the right person in place to deal with this mess. And he was pushed aside in favor of a demented old fool.

If this clown is making on the ground decisions we are screwed. He just said “we share versions of this information with the Taliban so they can actually do some searching out there for us.”

CAN NOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM HEARING.

“twitter link...”

Twitter has shut off lurking — so twitter links are are now a militant annoyance to me.

Stick this one where the sun don’t shine.

At least you are one step closer to the actual warfighting chain of command, although I believe the AOR is assigned to a Combined multinational JTF. I’ve seen no reporting as to the actual chain of command in theater.

I don’t think anybody in the White House or their staff even know what that means.

Since February 2020 when President Trump signed the deal with the Taliban and warned....Break it and you won’t know what hit you.

Get our troops out now.

No, send in 30000 and kick the Taliban’s butts all the back to Pakistan and take no prisoners!!! Then leave after you give the government back to the rightful owners..

Seemed like pre-written remarks with short inserts about today’s disaster. A speech for his boss maybe, but, totally out of touch with what Americans are thinking or want to hear.
