So Biden gave a 15 minute speech today about COVID and not one mention of Afghanistan ?
Walked off without taking any questions ? Did that really happen ? |

How do you know you are getting old?
When you pluck the excess hair out of your dogs ears....and realize it's great practice in case I ever get married again.  However, it reminded me that medical hemostats are useful for many things in your med kit or everyday prep items.

I feel like Sisyphus engaging in lost causes trying to help Afghans I know escape.
Our government is in no less shambles than that of the Afghan Government, they are adrift as are we. They have no representation, as do we. This organization (Army) no longer represents my values, values which were a requirement at the time of my enlistment. I finally cried today. I could hold out no longer. |

I was in the sandbox but I was in Vegas of the Middle east for most of it. I do not know the exact pain or frustration as I was not in direct contact with anyone but my command or sent of to the UAE, Saudi, and Oman usually on short trips.

Elcope, you and your people did everything’s asked of them. You have no reason to be upset for your part in this. You did your duty. It’s got to be very frustrating to see the men that stood beside you, that risked everything to help you and your team be tossed aside because it’s convenient for that dumbass in office. You’re a good man, who stood beside other good men from around the world. The powers that be are turning their back on them, stand tall and stand proud knowing that you never turned your back on them. Fuck that geriatric globalist piece of shit. Fuck the dick Cheney’s. Fuck the George bushes. Fuck every single person that sent us there, knowing full well that we would abandon the Afghan people when it was most convenient. Fuck em. |
