I'm not going to believe one word this man has to say for the rest of his administration.

He has proven to me, he has little to nothing in the way of strategic thinking left in his head.

The Sun Set Today on The Biden Administration.

#2 I'm thinking of all of our guys who fought these last 21 years and how they will be feeling soon after the news of the Afghanistan Crash & Burn Today... They might need a couple of 'old timer's ears' in the weeks and months ahead -- listen & be available, if & when they ask... Stay Strong !

Shiva Protector of the Hohlraum wrote yesterday after he learned of the fall of Afghanistan

KIND OF LIKE Hue. Despicable animals, then and now. Pure political murders. I would kill them as I did the NVA/and so-called grassroots uprising of the Viet Kong. Jeez I hated those VC bastards. Murderers and terrorists.


To that I wrote:

Ilost 9 of my friends to Nam, their names are on the wall in Washington, DC and I had another bunch of guys loose parts, some of them their souls (PTSD)

and then the piece you read as my headlines to this comment;

If you talk with our Vets about this event - The Fall of Afghanistan - many of our Allied and US Vets will likely appreciate you Listening & Talking about their experiences in the Middle East War Theater, be there for them and yourselves - Shared Experiences Build a Country - Do Your Part - The Spirit of the Greatest Generation will Support You !

#3 Some difficulty was encountered with gaining the assistance of Zonians and others in 1989, prior to the US invasion of Panama and toppling of Noriega. Some of those were reluctant Americans (yes Americans) who had served in Vietnam and watched events unfold following the US withdrawal and fall of Saigon.

Actions, yes, they have consequences.

#4 It doesn't look like their was much will fight by the non-Taliban Afghans; all the training and equipment is useless without that.

#5 There's going to be a concerted campaign by the corporate media and the political establishment (uniparty) to make the average American feel shame over a failure that was actually largely concocted by unelected elites. It's a failure of many parts and many players, but not a reflection on the average American in any way.

#8 /\ He was only saying what he was told to say, and still is. The only difference today is, his instructions arrive in large print on 3x5 cards.

#10 Joe Biden is President of the United States. But it is delusional to pretend the he himself is actually leading the country.

#11 /\ He has lasted far longer than I thought he might. The fetal neurotrophin infusions must be working.

Or at least making him a little more sure-footed.

#12  experts now believe the terrorist group will target the Afghan capital of Kabul in the coming weeks.

Took the Taliban two days to overrun Kabul. The “experts” are worthless, as usual.
