When it became clear that there wouldn't be a draft she forgot all about the war for the next twenty years.

110% behind the invasion of Iraq. "'Bout time we kicked someone's ass!"
But on the other hand, "They better not expect MY kids to go!"
I honestly don't know what Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of those geniuses were smoking at the time. Even a casual glance at history would have shown that the effort was doomed.
Twenty years for what? You can't really say that the lives sacrificed, both ours and Afghani, made any difference whatsoever. Didn't make us any more free, after all one of the key results of 9/11 was 24/7 surveillance of all Americans by the NSA. Warantless searches by the FBI.
Every time those sanctimonious gas bags at the NFL stretch a flag across a football field in "support of the troops," my teeth grind. If you support them, bring them the fuck home.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

In August of 2016, my nephew was brought home, and laid to rest.
Biden has been riding Trump's coattails regarding Afghanistan, just like he is regarding the Coronavirus vaccines.

On yet another blatantly political posting, while you stand back in complete shock when you see someone else do it. Well done. Now I truly know the meaning of 'hypocrisy'.
No, Mr. Pence, 'The Handmaid's Tale' is not a documentary about the good old days.
Or, you could have written: "Yes, you're right. And my condolences on the loss of a family member in the service of his country."

Or are you just a master baiter?

Well Q, don't you mean an attempted master of deflection?

The episode was titled "Friday's Child."
Anyway, the line is, "his words are unimportant and we do not hear them."

Even though MANY people have pointed out the truth to him.

Kind of reminds of another failed war we got into back in the 1960's.
People all over the world, they're not Americans just struggling to get out of their Asian or Arab skin.
Afghanistan and Vietnam (and just about everywhere else), they're a lot older than us. Let them do things their own way.

"Let them do things their own way."Amen.
The U.S. and allies had good reason to go into Iraq and Afghanistan initially, but completely lost sight of the point and became totally sidetracked into "nation building". Saddam Hussein invaded our friend Kuwait, so we kicked his ass out. Good. The Taliban tried to take over Afghanistan and was a source of terrorists. Good riddance. (Except that they're still there.)
But twenty years of fighting what amounts to street gangs in Chicago? That's just a losing strategy, from a national military perspective. Let them duke it out amongst themselves.
I say, all y'all can fight amongst yourselves, just don't export it to us, because then, we're going to kick your ass again, and, hopefully, we'll have someone like Trump who will be serious about getting the job done, unlike Bush and Obama, who wanted to play nicey-nice while "fighting" a war.
Now, we've got Biden who wants to play nicey-nice with Iran and China. Eye-yie-yie. He seriously doesn't get it.
The Mideast has been at war with itself for at least a couple thousand years. You'd think that, someday, they'd figure it out. It's not our problem.
