Soldiers killed at Little Big Horn were 260, Vietnam killed 58, 000...in Afghanistan we lost 2402. There are no statistics worth even one life, and no Commander wants to lose anyone but that's why when you volunteer to serve you understand that it may, someday, kill you. You.live with that the rest of your life, even long out if the military. You are not counting toy soldiers on paper battlefields, nothing every goes exactly as planned. I have said enough on this subject. You never served, so you think you can place blame. You can't. I served, but (I pray to God) neither of us were generals of heads of state. That doesn't mean that I don't have basic common sense. Leftards will pretend that everything Trump did was awful and everything Biden did was excellent, they even called Afghanistan "The most successful withdrawal ever" lol, but the fact of the matter is that we both know that if Trump handled that withdrawal it wouldn't have looked like Keystone Cops sniffing glue. Don't you wish Trump was president right now? The world doesn't have a chance right now with the current presidoofus at the helm. This isn't funny. America's enemies all feel ten feet tall. If you can't admit to it then at least learn from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristides Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 The evacuations of Viet Nam and Afghanistan were both chaotic. There was really no easy way out of either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viet Nam was evacuated in the face of an overwhelming offensive by the enemy. Do you see the difference? Are you allowed to admit to at least that much?

Of course there were deaths in the last 18 months. 11 killed in 2020 alone. And no, Trump wasn't "winding down the war" without any problems. The Taliban did not "fear" Donald Trump, lol. They were clearly going to blitz the country as soon as US Troops were drawn down. The Trump administration knew it as well. But if playing politics with dead soldiers is your thing, have at it.

No I don't because he would screw anyone to get money and a chance to leave the country so he doesn't have to face the music for his crimes. As I believe I have mentioned before, I am an Independent, not a Democrat though I tend to post for Common Sense and Truth I get from reliable sources rather than bulbous nonsense and conspiracy theories so if that leans Left in your book, so be it. It's not as though Bernie Sanders is doing much in the Independent Party of the USA. ...no I was not a General...but I was involved in tactical intelligence. And, I was indeed a member if a tactical fighter squadron, USAF, stationed in Europe in the 70's when our enemy was behind a Wall also, one they made themselves, and militarily quite active, but not as much as now. The Media in those days were much more in fear of losing their broadcasting or publication licenses than now if they printed anything military without permission. So much if what I saw, and possibly you also, will stay buried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the estimate is in the neighbourhood of 18? (out of 33) And virtually all the hummers work tho many were 'degraded' meaning the guns were taken off etc - but very obviously an easy fix. But of course i'm sure you've served time as a muslim insurgent so you'd know better. You've been an expert in everything else I served in the USAF. Am not a Muslim. I judge people by their words and actions, not their religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
