A highly decorated British Army officer said he is “absolutely shocked” at President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, rendering the 20-year war “a total waste.”

Coult served for 21 years in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where he was involved in 178 enemy engagements and survived three bomb blasts.

He’s not lying.
I am shocked that any American would listen to a Brit on any serious topic. We saved those peeps asses three times in the last 100 years at great cost to ourselves in blood and treasure. They OWE us BIGLY. Now I hate Joe Biden for many reasons, but no European of any flavor can speak to me in any critical manner. I will not take that crap from those a-——s.
Ronald Reagan would have disagreed with you.
Ronald Reagan was responsible for the unconstitutional gun laws in California and never closed the borders as President. There is a lot to like about the guy, but he was not perfect. As to his appreciation of the Brits, I wonder what he’d say when the country turns muslim majority, which it is well on its way to doing. I’ve travelled there and if you haven’t seen that London is being overrun, you just aren’t looking.
Ask any REAL AmeriCAN and you’d get the same answer!
