I’d say the 13 dead at the Kabul airport were cannon fodder. This is not an insult to those soldiers, it is an insult to their leadership who put them in a place to serve no function but to die for Democrat schemes.

The victims of that bombing weren’t cannon fodder, look to the Iran-Iraq war for example.

We just fought 20 years of wars for crying out loud, we did not use our men as cannon fodder with indifference to them as we sent them into massed artillery barrages and massed machine guns, and used them to walk through minefields.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read the retort regarding cannon fodder!!

“I’d say the 13 dead at the Kabul airport were cannon fodder.”

And I would say the POWs from Vietnam who were left behind in either SEA or Soviet Union felt like cannon fodder as well.
