in that moment Conservatives made the decision that. Even with 6000 American and 100 thousand others Afghan men women and children rescued
13 American deaths were suddenly unacceptable
And Now since we have left they cry we left Americans behind it all. B
S. More fake outrage ..

So here is my question how many marines were Republicans or Americans willing to sacrifice to go save these remaining 100 American who may or may not wanted to leave , and somehow couldn’t get to the airport for what ever reason , even though 6000 did!

1 more 13 more a thousand? The Truth is zero .. and now they will use these 100 American and 13 service members as martyrs in their mid terms it’s classic Republican play book ..

I’ve said it before Republicans love beating their chests and the war drum . Until the bill comes due unless deaths happen under a Republican. POTUS

Look up

The Tongo Tongo ambush or the Niger ambush occurred on 4 October 2017, when armed militants from the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) attacked Nigerien and killed 4 US soldiers outside the village

And this isn’t about Trump is about Republican responses to tragic events

You’ll find no Republican outrage
Except 1 person John McCain
By then a RINO

"a suicide bomber killed 13 American service members and suddenly The right got cold feet "

No, not just the right. People in both parties are criticizing Biden.

"And Now since we have left they cry we left Americans behind it all. BS fake outrage"

You're saying, it's not valid to feel genuine outrage that we left American citizens, and allies who helped us, behind? There's no justifiable reason to be at all critical of that decision?

"now they will use these 100 American and 13 service members as martyrs in their mid terms"

That's obviously true. that's what's going to happen, just as the democrats used George Floyd as a martyr, or did that not happen?

I don't suspect this will be a huge issue in the midterms next year, but it might be. If it is, it won't help your side.

"Republicans love beating their chests and the war drum"

Yes you did say it, and it was demonstrably wrong both times you said it. Trump campaigned very specifically, on a promise to not get us involved in questionable wars, and republicans liked that promise. The George Bush wing of the GOP is very willing to go to war, as are PLENTY of democrats. Look up the Senate vote to invade Iraq, you know who voted in favor of that war? Senators Harry Reid, John Kerry, John Edwards, Hilary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer...were they all Republicans?

There's a large number of people who have been connected to DC for decades, who feel entitled to get filthy rich off the American public, they all like to beat the war drum, and the come from both parties. Both.

Blind, rabid, thoughtless partisan talking points, it's all you have.
