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.
You know what I want to talk about?
The fact that I finally know why my Dad has a shirt that says, "Don't blame me for Vietnam. When I left we were winning."
I literally saw the picture of the helicopter leaving the embassy and I thought it was the picture from Saigon.
It was all fun and games until I remembered the 9 Designated Transfer ceremonies I went to in Afghanistan. Then I got really mad.
2 of those were for two Marines who got blown up on a bridge by a Russian Anti-Personnel mine set up by the Taliban. Two more Marines were mauled in an attempt to rescue them by secondary explosives. That bridge killed 2 Marines and made quadruple amputees out of the other two.
The cases are smaller than you'd think.
Now I'm mad again.
The polititians dont give a fuck/ we need to vote them ALL out. No matter who your party. theyre all corrupt faggots. we need to vote them out and start anew/
The fewer politicians the better.
But it's the bureaucrats we need to completely remove from every position of power.
Ooh boy, you've still got a lot to learn buddy
Depends on your voting instrument.
Sorry to hear that, man.
It's okay. At least there's still a few thousand soldiers who are prepared to rescue whomever is left. This seems to be the case with our Mad Lad Lord Miles Routledge. He mentioned Safe Houses, "Best of the Best", showed off some gear that was clearly privately bought American arms, and the fact that he was in a well defended position.
Most likely, CENTCOM probably ordered at least a Quick Reaction Team, probably Marines, to redeploy into the area on short notice and fortify the area against any follow-up attacks by the Taliban, or Civilian Overflow. Not to mention the State Department probably shit it's pants and called out their own PMC's, not wanting a repeat of what happened in Benghazi.
At least someone is there to defend someone. As long as one person is doing the right thing...
"May", yeah I think many of our military men are on board with the idea that afghanist was a waste when we cant even get our translaters out. nice work bifed.
I wish I saved it, but I saw a small video analyzing some talking heads on DNC TV and marveled at how they were addressing the defund the police situation.
Not only was it complete denial that the defunding push was the cause, but the speakers were annoyed that crime sprees are bad for the Democrat's election chances. Not that the crime itself was a problem, but the voters' response to it.
Exactly. They see you as cattle to be herded.
The people who know that this kind of thing is a sign of a coming collapse.
I only know one kind of person who constantly thinks about everything in terms of "class."
You may not be aware of this, but TentacleMonster is, in fact, our resident commie.
I am aware, but thanks lol.
Unironically one thing I like about this place is we have a mix of people. Commies, EthnoNats, ClAsSiCaL lIbErAls, Bignose, Anti-bignose, Limeys, Frogs, Slavs, Christcucks, Tradcons, Rightists, Leftists..
Pretty sure we even have a fucking leaf tooo. Only group I haven't seen represented are the lolberts. I guess Nazbols too but idfk
You don't really get this sort of diversity online anymore. SAD
Is this one of those "we're all equal and the same" efforts?
And what people would that be? As if I can't guess.
Give up the class warfare bullshit already. The only two groups of people who matter are the moral, and the immoral. Those aren't classes, they are choices.
And of course it's an atheist. Why wouldn't it be.
People actually read emails from the VA?
They spam me stupid shit 4 times a day that reads like buzzfeed.
Pisslam is the biggest cancer though.
Death to Pisslam and death to pisslamists.
We should nuke Mecca.
