Rockets were just dumped in the green zone in Iraq not far from the embassy. They must had not gotten the memo yet.
Esper was hopeless, wasn’t he?
Of course, I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s possible that Esper’s resistance to implementing the insurrection act, may have been part of the reason Trump wanted to dump Esper, but wanted to wait till after the election, to do it. Any thoughts?
BREAKING: Pentagon confirms US troop withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan
_________________________________________
It’s only been what 17 years for Iraq and even longer for Afghanistan?
Its no coincidence he fires Esper then we get this announcement...
Also Douglas Macgregor was appointed to the Pentagon and he is a critic of both wars..
Not to worry, Trump will send them back.
Couple rockets every so often are not much of a problem. After a while you get used to it and all it means if it happens near meal time is you have to hurry to the dining facility before the stay place call.
20 years in Afghanistan is enough. God bless the President.
5th Nobel Peace Prize for Trump then?
I have a theory. Since WWII, we’ve sent our best, strongest, brightest to die in foreign wars leaving the crazed and infirm home to procreate. This is why we are in trouble today.
Rightly so... since when was it EVER the mission of our military to "Nation Build"?
Our military should be used for one thing and one thing only...
When someone attacks us, we go in and break enough of their stuff and kill enough of their people in the fastest, most brutal way possible to ensure they NEVER try that stupidity ever again.
Nothing more. And un-apologetically... nothing LESS.
4th or 5th.. I can’t keep up. He’s been nominated a few times for different accomplishments.
He should get it.
Exactly.

Hard to argue with.
I don’t know about the US, but that sure explains Europe and WW1 and WW2.
Look it up;)
We put Forward Forces to protect our freedom loving allies and ensured inclusive nation building with the Japanese. The Japanese economy began its economic recovery with the Korean War.
The Koreans began their economic recovery in the 1980s.
With our economic help they all became socialists and we were the only holdouts against socialism in theory.
There is no nation building or possibility of any cooperation with the States of Afghanistan and Iraq because the political solution is not decided.
At the same time here at home the political situation is as yet not setteled and may well devolve into an Iraq or Afghanistan war type situation where leftist politicians and their corporate owner corporation owners are eliminated by conservatives in a gurrila war talking at least a generation of leftist genocide to put down.
The UN will eventually implement the breakup of the USA into five regional states.... Maybe we can get Russian instead of Chicom oversight but with Biden in power I bet on the the Chicons.

Not just since WWII, but since the beginning of civilization.
I for one welcome our new Socialist Overlords. Jumper is the one you want to send to re-education camp!
rash withdrawal! that is funny.
lolz. More lies from AP.
However, should B steal the election, its once again establishment endless wars and conflicts.
Well, we need to get out of Syria, too. Although, if Biden is inaugurated, he has promised more troops, and engagement there.
Gotta balkanize the country, and steal their oil.
I notice our Country seems to have those who wish to Balkanize our Country, too.
