(6,543 posts)I am old enough to remember the American War in Vietnam. My male friends were terrified of the draft. The ones who made it home were scarred for life. Every war is a bad war.
It is anguishing to see the chaos in Afghanistan. There is no way to leave without harm, but Dumpy arranged for it to be infinitely worse.
Biden is doing his best, and I support the United States getting out of Afghanistan. I support never being in another war.

(8,361 posts)I find it offensive, although predictable, to hear all the known culprits who encouraged the war from its inception crying no fair at the moment. They're also spending time drafting "reasons" for why we should not be leaving.
As a reminder, hawks are bloodthirsty in the sense they wanted to remain there and they're also dumb.
