So the Democrats have wasted absolutely no time engaging in "optics" regarding their complete retreat of the Afghanistan front.
Today I received an email from the VA. An almost hilariously "Millennial" email, written as damage control targeted towards veterans upset about how their sacrifices were all just basically a waste of time, effort and American blood.
Examples include:
"At this moment, it may seem to you like your service and your sacrifices were for nothing."
and
"Veterans may question the meaning of their service or whether it was worth the sacrifices they made."
Because that's the real problem, according to the liberals. Not that a United States Embassy is being sacked, but that veterans might question the narrative.
It kinda is the real problem. What happens when a bunch of guys with military training and experience aren't on board with the program? What might happen if they're provided an alternate program?
That's the entire paradigm of socialism. No one is allowed to disagree. Any disagreement sticks, and they collapse.
Not just a problem with "socialism". How many soldiers who had previously fought for the British in the French and Indian War fought for the Americans in the War for Independence? Or previously fought for the Americans in the Mexican Indian War before fighting for the Confederacy? And that's just our history.
There's no way a bunch of dudes with rifles could accomplish anything...oh, wait.
