Why spend another American life for people who surrendered, rather than fight for themselves?

More than the cost of hordes of migrants that are arriving in droves that helped not at all. But abandoning allies is now a Biden thing.

That is the most mealy mouthed of all your mealy mouthed answers to date. Putting a number on it is hard. Biden had the "balls," to do it, to quote a famous right winger, Ann Coulter. You don't. You have demonstrated that you are a coward on every possible level.

Now now Larry. I am being very civil with you yet you resort to ad homs. Very sad. Bigly sad, one might say.

Yeah, he had the balls, unfortunately he didn't have the brains.

You do realize this is the most expensive withdrawal in human history, right? 80 billion in weaponry left behind. God, how you'd be screeching about the orange man. It'd be ENDLESS.

*had Trump done this.

Did you not hear the General in charge of the withdrawal say that they disabled all the equipment they "left behind." Have you not read the multiple news reports about Taliban sources being pissed off to find disabled aircraft, etc. Now, the weapons the so called "Afghan Security Forces," threw down or otherwise abandoned are not substantial or advanced in nature. Are you stupid or just not against lying, for political reasons?

Wow, you really believe that? The Taliban has a couple Blackhawks already making patrols over major Afghani cities.

Did they disable the 350,000 assault rifles and 64,000 machine guns?

You really believe those swine after they lied to the public, Trump AND Biden?

Slow down Chicken Little. The sky is not falling. So, we should spend how many more days at 300-million a day to collect enough guns to arm a typical Friday Night Football schedule in Texas? Put it on the line. How many American lives would this be worth to you? Grow a pair and go on the record. How much are you willing to pay in money and lives to support your extreme right wing criticisms?

No, Larry. That is why you do it BEFORE you pull out and withdraw. I think it's good it finally happened, Trump should have done it, but the generals lied to him and Biden both. Altho Biden screwed up big time, he should have had competent advisors helping him out.

So to recap. You get the civilians and the weapons out BEFORE you flee in the middle of the night.

The latest "YouGov" poll shows a "significant," dip in support for Afghan refugees and related issues, by Republicans. In less than a week they have gone from "Joe Biden didn't do enough to bring them out," to "Don't bring them here." To quote the survey, "This shift has been driven almost entirely by Republicans, whose support for Afghan refugees coming to the U.S. dropped from 40 percent to 32 percent." From low support to less support. Mealy Mouthed Republicans. The one thing they agree on is Trump's withdrawal of US forces deal with the Taliban, which Biden upheld rather than renegotiate, is all Biden's fault.

Wow! Is overt racism allowed on this site. Let's find out.

Letting wounded vets die in squalor while you party it up shouldn't be allowed on this site either but here you are, Freddy. Now sing Bohemian Rhapsody.

I spent nights, sometime all night long getting Vets admitted for care. I managed the accounts of disabled vets, so they could support their families and buy some comfort items during long hospitalizations. I managed Surgery and Behavioral Health programs to make sure care got to them. If you put as much effort into helping one Vet as you do insulting me for spending 30-years supporting them, I might respect you. But, my friend and former co-worker Pam Murphy, Audie's widow, thanked me for what I did. You are a sniveling coward who never served or helped. I'll take her comments over yours any day.

I sincerely hope that is true. The VA is pretty disgraceful but im sure many did everything they could. If you fall under that, good for you.

How many VA facilities have you actually visited? Did you know that the VA has affiliation agreements with the top 100 Medical Schools in America. That means that Medical School faculty from Harvard, Yale, UCLA and the rest provide all of he clinical supervision at their affiliated VA Medical Center. And, it has to meet their standards. So, when you hurl uninformed insults at VA healthcare, you are insulting the best medical minds in the country, including winners of all major awards including the Nobel Prize. Did you know that VA Medical Centers and Clinics and their departments have to pass the same accreditation standards by the same agencies that inspect and approve private hospitals and facilities? If you think that is disgraceful, you don't know what you are talking about. They are not perfect and make mistakes. But, I knew a Vet who traveled from Australia to the San Fernando Valley every year for an examination by a VA doctor. He would not trust anyone else. Yeah. That's the kind of disgraceful care I saw all the time.

No one gets beaten for what they are. They get beaten for what the other person is.

Naw. He probably deserved it, if he took after you.

You just said that a twelve year old buy deserved to be beaten by three adult men. That statement defines who you are, forever. Good-bye, forever.

Oh Larry, learn to take a joke.

"Waahhhhhh!!!! I played the race card for no reason whatsoever now let me cry to the mods when someone mentions it!!!! wahhhhhh!!!"

Wow, you really are fragile.

When I was six years old, my 12-year old brother was attacked and beaten by three adult men, for being a "Beaner," in their neighborhood. I tried to help him and was thrown across a lawn. I did cry then. and, a woman came out and said she had called the police. The cowards ran away. They always do.

You think that's some unique event? I do feel compassion for your situation. No one should be punished for what they are and have no control over. I took a few beatings too. Because I was a minority where I lived. Yeah, it sucks. But that's life.

More racism!

Hahaha thanks for proving my point.

haha, I had been meaning to visit the Front Page and post on this week's theme memes how the very ones now decrying rescuing of Afghans were crying that we supposedly weren't the week prior.

Just as last year it was flooded with memes praising Trump's deal with the enemy we've been at war with - not the Afghan gov't that we created and nurtured for two decades - to withdraw.
