(16,844 posts)Biden seems to care about average Americans more than other Presidents we've had. That's why I think this is all going to blow over after a while. People like Joe; he's one of them.

(25,962 posts)of all of the presidents we've had while at war in the Middle East, Biden is the only one who had a child who served in the military and saw part of that service in one of those wars.

(1,910 posts)Rachel just had a NY Times reporter on who spoke to a bunch of Afghans today. The poor troops at the airport are a few hundred, no supplies, not even barb wire to establish a perimeter. There has been no surge in state department personnel, no expedition of the process. Ted Lieu has outlined that they should airlift first and stop this red tape.
I am at a loss as to how the government is still mucking this up. At some point for goodness sake, someone has to be put in charge like General Honore and get this crap done better.

(6,137 posts)no one comes close to Biden when it comes to protecting US troops. One of the best foreign policy decisions ever made by a US president. Historic.
