Reported 4 Service Members killed, more wounded, many civilians killed. This has turned out to be one of the worst tragedy's ever by an American administration.

Latest count is 12 US servicemen, apparently one a Navy Medic. May they Rest In Peace and their families find comfort in knowing they were protecting others in need. Ironically the Taliban could possibly provide intelligence on ISIS-K so we can target some drones in their direction.
Pundits are writing that Harris' value lies in the fact she makes Biden unimpeachable. Maybe. Removing Biden and installing Harris damages the Dems as it removes her tie-breaking vote in a 50/50 Senate; and, it takes 51% of the Senate to install a successor VP. Problematic, for sure Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

"We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay," U.S. President Joe Biden said of the perpetrators during televised comments from the White House.
"We will not be deterred by terrorists ... We will continue the mission," Biden said. Stupid basterd. You just lost the war and now you threaten them?????? We lost 14 brave Marines trying to get Afghan civilians to the airport. Screw them. Let the rag heads figure it out for themselves.

If you voted for Biden/Harris, well here we are. How do you like them now?
It's an unmitigated disaster for America! What does the world think of us now? I don't care what what you think of Donald Trump, if he was still in office this WOULD NOT have happened, period! |

Something is just not right...even for this administration. To turn our back on those who need us dearly, U.S. citizens or not, is totally out of character.
We are leaving an unbelievable amount of high-tech equipment behind in Afghanistan. ..why? Congress wants several multi trillion $ spending bills passed...for what? The stimulus money given to those who are taxpayers amounts to a drop.in the ocean...who is the money going to? DOJ unresponsive to any of the known corruption that was being investigated yet hammering the "insurrection" participants...what happened to justice for all? Illegals are being encouraged to flood this country...who else is coming in? A Supreme Court that is supposedly "conservative" but with only 2 Justices constantly voting that way...what are the new appointments in reality? There is a "black hole" forming attempting to suck all that is good about this country since it's founding into an abyss...who is on the dark side of the hole? "In God We Trust" is about all we have left and they want that too.

Somewhere a bunch of Marines are putting on dress uniforms, linking up with Chaplains, signing for a crappy 15-passenger government van and being provided with a packet that depicts the exact location of mom, dad, siblings and / or spouse of The Fallen. Amongst the anger you're feeling right now, find the capacity to pray for the family members who are about to answer a knock at their door that will change their lives forever.

My uncle Jack Cook was a Master Sergeant in the Army, served in WW2 and Korea but told me the most challenging job was informing families of the deceased during the Viet Nam war.
A sad business. Last edited by Frank Castros; 08-27-2021 at 02:01 PM. |
