Yeah, I'm sure the number that were sent was Biden's idea...I'm sure none of his military advisors had any input at all. Another typical leftist response. When it comes to "the buck stops here", every shitty buck during the Bush and Trump years stopped with them. But Obama and Biden must crap teflon, because nothing ever stops with them. |

Biden is worse than Carter. What kind of mindless partisan as*hole continues to chant support for Biden? |

Nothing quite like a bunch of terrorists kicking in the teeth of the strongest military in the world.

Winning a war is ugly and bloody, and we no longer have the stomach for that.

Our civilian leadership is entirely feckless...again. Welcome back to the Obama years. What's hysterical was Biden calling for the Taliban to release those they recently captured. All that did was embolden them to do a full court press. If that's not the ultimate F-U. |

Biden is a gutless fool. First he gave Vladimir Putin a list of 16 targets to please not hack, now he's asked the Taliban to please not damage the embassy. He is an embarrassment to every American who ever wore a uniform.

I’m waiting for the inevitable argument that the constitutional “commander in chief” definition doesn’t actually mean he’s in charge of the army and navy.

The US does not no how to fight a war, without falling into that nation building nonsense.
Bomb the enemy back to the stone age, tell them we'll be back if we need to, and then leave.

I think we know very well how to fight a war, the problem is that the Taliban wanted to fight a different war, and the guerrillas always get to set the terms of the conflict. 2. The Afghanis have been living in the Stone Age for many years now...it's one of the reasons the Taliban are successful. 3. There's never been any reason to believe we would be more successful in Afghanistan than the Russians were or the British before them. We never should have gone there in the first place if we didn't want to stay indefinitely. 4. If you don't like the fact that Biden is getting us out now, you should be glad Mr. trump isn't still in charge...he wanted us out by May. Despite his recent opportunistic criticisms he started this whole withdrawal back when he was in office and his timetable was much quicker than Biden's. |

Uh, dude, he’s the commander in chief, what the hell do you think his responsibilities actually are? I think his responsibilities include many to the American people and to the troops he commands...I think none of his responsibilities are to the Afghan people. What do you think they are, dude? |
