BREAKING: Ten Marines Are the First American Military to Die in Afghanistan Since February 2020 [UPD
« on: August 26, 2021, 06:31:05 pm »
Two suicide bombings killed at least 40 people today, and wounded another 120, outside of the Hamid Karzai International Airport. One attack occurred at the airport’s Abbey Gate and the other was very near the Baron Hotel, where U.S. and UK military and journalists are staying.

The attacks today killed four U.S. Marines and injured another three, marking the first American military deaths in Afghanistan since February 8, 2020, when two American soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing.

Where is our military leadership?

Lord only knows how many non military Americans have been killed outside Kabul.

The inept old man responsible for this carnage is where he is because of a political calculation.

Everyone associated with that political calculation has blood on their hands.

To hell with those who say now is not the time to bring this up. It is precisely the right time.

Time to start leveling Kabul.  The Presidential Palace and then our embassy to start.

The elites in DC are not worthy of the men and women who are willing to defend our country. Our military leadership is even worse than the political hacks who have no concern for our soldiers. Our military leaders had to know this pull out was going to be a disaster the way Biden wanted it done. Yet, they went ahead and did it. Where were their resignations before Bagram was closed down?

But they should also bomb the villages that the ISIS and Taliban leadership comes from.

Unfortunately, we know Biden doesn't have that kind of courage.

They'll bomb some empty building somewhere and say that was their measured response.

You suggested someone has. I haven't heard it. Just wanted to know if I missed something.

I suggested no such thing. No need to personalize things.

You're right and our enemies will learn once again America has become a toothless tiger under Biden.

How about directing you anger where it is rightly deserved, at The f*ck up in Chief rather than bickering over the he said she said bullshit.

My anger was already there. I don't need made up strawmen to be angry at too.

Dude, I was simply asking if someone here said what you were referring to. That's all. You're the one who went defensive.

Rhetoric away, sorry I listened or asked...
