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'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...
