Liz Warren Claims She's More Qualified To Be Sec of Def Because She Has Two Brothers That Served

Why didn’t Trump have the capability to withdraw himself?

Four years. That’s a long time.

Why couldn’t he finish the job instead of leaving it to the next guy?
Trump had the advise of his military which did not want a complete withdrawal. That’s why the Trump exit plan had conditions for the Taliban to meet and included a force to be maintained at Baghram airbase,has opposed to the Biden disaster.

So you’re saying Trump couldn’t effectively command the military?

There’s no excuse. He had 4 years and couldn’t do it.
 
So, you agree that Biden is incompetent and couldn’t end the war in 4 years.
Biden ended the war within the first year. Unlike Trump, Biden gives orders to the military.
 
Seems two predecessors couldn't do it over 12 years and Biden wouldn't have done it either had Trump not done the work that Biden couldn't complete.
Not sure how releasing thousands of Taliban fighters from prison helped, but it was Trump’s priority.
 
I would kind of agree.... my 11 years as a supply NCO doesn't qualify me to run the Pentagon.

And neither does being a screaming asshole on Fox News.

That Trump is skipping over so many qualified people to get someone who will toady up to him shows how fragile his ego is.
So you know nothing about the man. Just repeat your talking points.
 
Not sure how releasing thousands of Taliban fighters from prison helped, but it was Trump’s priority.
Not sure how you’re so profoundly ignorant to the fact that Trump had an exit strategy that involved compromise whereby some Taliban would be released in exchange for the US keeping a force of US military on Baghram airbase.

That’s the same airbase where ole’ stumblebum abandoned $billions of dollars worth of military equipment.
 
I remember the difference between Clinton and Bush Sr.

Clinton would rather risk the lives of soldiers than appear too aggressive in combat.

Bush Sr was a warmonger, but he made sure that his troops were taken care of and had the upper hand in battle.

Except how many American servicemen died on Clinton's watch?

Not a lot.

The worst thing he had going was Somalia, and that was something Bush dumped on his plate before he left as a "Fuck You" going out the door.

Clinton mishandled Somalia. He was given a working situation and turned it into a horrendous episode in military history.

I was in Mogadishu most of 93'. Somalia was doing well until Clinton started messing around.
 
Lloyd Austin had decades of experience in military leadership. He was awarded the silver star. Since I don’t know anything about the military, can you tell me if the silver star is more prestigious than the bronze star?

Yes, it is.

My problem with Hegseth isn't his service or how many medals he got in the MNARNG.

My problem is that the man simply doesn't have the administrative skills to manage a 700-billion-dollar agency.

In fact, the only administrative skills that he had was running something called MN PAC, which failed miserably and had some serious financial irregularities.

I don't think anyone can say, "Somalia was doing well" with a straight face. But you do you.
 
Biden was the failed weakling. He was still drenching the Taliban in US cash after his failed withdrawal.

Remarkable how you worship failure.


Trump failed. Your worship of Trump makes it impossible for you to recognize this fact.

And it is a fact.
 
It's cute when you guys all act like dope-smoking hippies because last term, the Pentagon kept Trump from doing anything really stupid.

I doubt we'll be that luck this time.
Over the years and decades, we Americans have seen many acts of stupidity. You give yourself and the Progs to little credit.
 
The catastrophe that was "W" and his clique wreaked havoc on many levels and we have all been paying ever since. Trump and Biden both mis-handled a situation they inherited, but it was difficult to do otherwise, given the situation. Thanks again to the duopoly, because Republicans and Democrats were complicit in the Iraq invasion and the criminality it represents.
