I think most do. The Mrs. and my youngest have joined a group that will help settle some of these refugees.

I still don’t know which is harder to wrap my head around…
A) that these dumb mother fuckers exist in such big numbers or
B) that they chose Trump as their messiah when he is literally the exact opposite of everything they seem to stand for.

At least 13 U.S. soldiers dead in Afghanistan. And the 1st post that wasn't a reply to a previous post that was made prior to the suicide attack, was some video of a few idiots. Just wrong on so many levels.

I think it goes without saying there was no disrespect intended to the situation and those who died. The whole thing is a cluster fuck.

Re: All things Middle East related
 

This is all conjecture on my part, but I have experience (Been right once or twice with it).

So reports/claims are the drone strike that destroyed the VBIED actually killed a guy that worked for an American NGO and a former DOD contractor (Both Afghans) and their families. Not saying this is true but wouldn't surprise me if it was, especially if it was the Taliban providing the intel. Seen stupid shit like this done before in another theater. (a lack of a secondary explosion on the vehicle got my suspicions going).

President Biden on August 19: "If there's American citizens left [on August 31], we're gonna stay to get them all out."

Dementia ridden piece of shit wanted a fucking photo opt on 9-11. What a disgraceful piece of shit.

A lotta folks should be held accountable for this absolute debacle. Those are the words of our allies as well.

Re: All things Middle East related
 

The 20 year book on Afghanistan occupation can be closed.

President Biden took one for the team by being the president on deck to close out this shit show of a military industry contractor cash cow.

The Obama - Biden foreign policy disasters continue.

Re: All things Middle East related
 

President Biden knew it was going to be a shit show and people on the other side of the aisle would politicize anything the Taliban did as if President Biden had blood on his hands ..

but he did it anyway. Putting whats best for America and the American people ahead of his interests in favorability polling.

Thank you President Biden.
