Kabul, Saigon.
The fall, once again.
America loses another war.
Our longest war.
“We’re #1!!”
We spent over $2 trillion.
We sacrificed over 2,300 American lives to invade a country where Bin Laden was never, nowhere, to be found. Bush said he had no interest in capturing him. Obama’s team found him in a house just down the road from Pakistan’s “West Point”. Who woulda guessed!
WE are the invaders. The Taliban are not invaders — they’re Afghans — it’s their country! They’re religious nuts. We know what that looks like — we have our own!
What a tragic mess. Defund the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex, defund the NSA, defund Homeland Security. They sent our young troops to their deaths. Shame! 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia! Not Afghanistan, not Iraq, not Iran. How come Bandar Bush didn’t attack the Saudis? Oh. Right. Oil. Fill ‘er up!
Once again, we have been defeated by an army with no bomber planes, no destroyers, no missiles, no helicopters, no na**lm — just a bunch of guys in pickup trucks. We haven’t won an actual war in the defense of this country since WWII.
76 years ago today.
Today is VJ-Day — Victory Over Japan Day. August 15, 1945. (Thank you Uncle Lornie for sacrificing your life.)
Today, 76 years later, is the day the U. S. lost the Afghanistan War. God bless our troops. May our troops forgive us.
Much condolences and love to all families who lost loved ones in this disgustingly sad war.
