Dan. That is a “what about.” Isn’t it? If you read what I wrote, I indicated that several administrations have been dealing with the issue of how to exit.  Please don’t tell me about Trump. I don’t care about him.  Nor do I keep track of supposed people who march in “lock step” with him. He is not in office. Hopefully, he will not be running again or if he does he will not be elected.  Since I did not bring up Trump, can you and the dems PLEASE let him go? Deal with the present. I did not make this mess up.  It’s not fiction.  You’ve got people so desperate to get out of Kabul that they are latching onto the sides of airplanes. Totally irrational. It makes me sick to think of what’s going to happen to the people left behind who helped the US and British troops during the war.

>> I look at the news. Anger. Sadness. Lament. Woe. And back again. Anger. I served during the Vietnam war. It was difficult to be in the military when it seemed the country, our country (the USA), had moved far from supporting the war and our service personnel. In Afghanistan our country supported going after the terrorists who killed our thousands in the attacks of 9-11, and the Taliban who supported them. But then, how to exit? And ours was not the only county involved; it was a partnership of nations. And our government, and others, under different administrations, struggled with that. Afghanistan was never OUR country, but it became our responsibility. And now? Thousands of Afghani people helped us. What of them? Is this the terrible retreat from Saigon all over again? I am angry that it is so botched. What a failure. It is beyond incompetence. It is negligence. We have smart people. How come this has become such a bone-headed, stupidly tragic process? To me it is one more ludicrous, illogical, counterproductive, and self-defeating incident on a map dotted by the pinholes of idiocy showing up on the horizon of current events. Will there be no accountability?
