Surrender; Millions of Former US Military Support Defeat

[SavannahMann]

The whole construction apparatus over there was nothing more than organized crime in the first place. Military contractors with congressional sugar daddy's.

Oh FFS. I swear you guys have the memories of a goldfish. Ten seconds after hearing something you’ve forgotten it.

What about all the ranting and raving about how American Companies should build the airport and structures? How about all the demands that Americans should get those jobs. Sure we could hire locals for basic labor. But if we want it done right we need to let Americans do it.

I remember that.

I remember the second and third round of trials required to prove that dragon scale armor for the troops was junk. The Army tested it and said it was junk. The ads started claiming it was better. The people claimed the military was benefitting only their friends through kickbacks and bribes. Then there was a second round. And a third before it was accepted grudgingly that dragon scale was garbage.

Then of course the same people who demanded the retrial of the garbage, denounce the entire thing as a waste that benefits only the friends of whomever is in power. Nobody mentions how dragon scale was willing to foist garbage on our troops for profit. Nobody calls out the pundits who bought into the crap claims.

How about the F-35? Remember the big stink over the engines? The idea from Lockheed was to use the same engine developed for the F-22 and just use one. Exactly as we did for the F-16, taking one engine for the F-15 and building the fighter around it.

The company that lost the contract, Boeing, had developed a competing engine. So sure enough. We spend the next five years hearing how half the F-35’s should be build with the GE engine instead. The Air Force said that commonality of parts and service standards was preferable. GE and their supporters swore that it would be good for America to have a second source for engines for the fighter.

Sure enough. A few tens of millions of dollars is earmarked to test the GE engine and conduct feasibility studies to see if a GE engine would be workable.

Lawsuits from Glock and Smith and Wesson over the Military choosing the Beretta 9MM pistol? Ring any bells?

None of which means anything.
The military industrial complex is a financial parasite on the nation. Granted it has produced the most powerful military in history..it also destroys more wealth and launders more money than most whole nations do

Unfortunately, the Democrats appear to have ceded the departure from Afghanistan to Trump and his GOP cult members. There is no need to do that. While everyone agrees the retrograde operation could have been executed far better, it was Trump who surrendered to the Taliban. While Trump, and the GOP talk about support for, and “rebuilding the military,” it was Trump who takes a unique and dishonorable place in American history as the first, and only POTUS to surrender to an adversary.

Surrender: Millions of former US Military members support defeat.

As self-acknowledging “suckers and losers,” all active and former military members supporting Trump are betraying the million men and women who made the “ultimate sacrifice.” It is disconcerting that so many of them are willing to overlook one of many...

And agreeing to the release of 5000 ISIS and Taliban, has now unleashed a wave of experienced terrorists all over the world. They made their mark in Moscow yesterday.

My god that is an ignorant post. Typical dishonest Libtards blaming their failures on somebody else.

Trump made the decision to withdraw the troops after being there for over 20 years. That was the right thing to do.

Mr Potatohead fucked up the withdrawal with his typical incompetence. That was the wrong thing to do.

Now the militant Muslims have $80 billion dollars worth of our military equipment and the US looks like fools in front of the whole world.

If it was "wrong" for Trump to make the decision to withdraw then why did Potatohead do it?

So many lies in such a short post. It’s impressive. Even for a Trump Fanboy, that’s impressive.

The easy one first. $80 billion. You do know that was the total we spent there over the twenty years don’t you? We left about $7 worth of stuff there, most of which was transferred to the Afghan Government long ago. A lot of which was structures and things like airbases.

Of course that won’t stop you from repeating the lie again tomorrow which is why you are a Fanboy. Truth and facts don’t matter, just propaganda.

Trump drew down the forces to the point there wasn’t enough to do much of anything. So if a unit came under attack there was no allied help available. So running for the exit was about all we could do. And thankfully the Military Leaders under Biden were smart enough to see it and Biden was smart enough to execute the fall of Saigon part two.

Of course Trump Fanboys consider agreements and contracts to be suggestive but not binding. It’s a shame the rest of the world doesn’t see it their way.

So you stupid uneducated Moon Bats idiots are denying that the US abandoned $80 billion in military equipment due to stupidity? My god you are a moron.

We all know you stupid uneducated Moon Bats don't know jackshit about History like you don't know anything about Economics, Biology, Climate Science, Ethics or the Constitution so let me give you a little lesson..

Bush got us involved in Afghanistan after 911. That was the right thing to do at the time.

Gay Barry escalated the war in Afghanistan and did a half ass job because he didn't do what the military advised him to do.

Gay Barry purged the military of the top officers with balls and all that were left were affirmative action dumbasses and yes men.

Trump made the determination to get out of Afghanistan, something both the Republicans and Democrats had been advocating.

Mr. Potatohead and his band of incompetent yes men and affirmative action dumbasses fucked up the withdrawal from Afghanistan by doing it too quickly and in a haphazard manner. Total incompetency. A big disgrace to the US.

Gay Barry told you stupid Moon Bats that Potatohead was big fuck up but your TDS mental illness prevented you from listening to him. You should have listened. That was the only thing Gay Barry ever got right in his miserable dumbass life.

Stop trying to blame Potatohead's failures on Trump. That just makes you look like a fool that doesn't know what you are talking about.

You stupid Libtards fuck up everything you touch and all we ever out of you turds are denial and blaming somebody else.

Yes. I deny the $80 billion. Because it is the truth.

First on CNN: US left behind $7 billion of military equipment in Afghanistan after 2021 withdrawal, Pentagon report says

Approximately $7 billion of military equipment the US transferred to the Afghan government over the course of 16 years was left behind in Afghanistan after the US completed its withdrawal from the country in August, according to a congressionally mandated report from the US Department of Defense...

amp.cnn.com

As one example. Some of that is uniforms we gave the Afghan Army. I presume you expected us to strip them naked and bring the clothes home before we left?

You idiots are so full of hatred you don’t care what the truth is. You just want to believe everyone who doesn’t agree with you is a liar. You won’t accept facts or truth.

You are a dunmbass.

Trying to make a distinction between how we paid for it is just typical Moon Bat sorriness and dishonest refusal to take responsibility for Potatohead's incompetency.

Queerboi Markie Milley tried to pull that sorry excuse to Congress last week and got his ass handed to him.

"Oh, it wasn't US equipment because we gave it to Afghanistan". LOL!

American taxpayer's paid for every cent of that equipment and Potatohead's incompetency put it in the hands of the Taliban. All your fucking pathetic Moon Bat excuses doesn't change that.

If the sonofabitch wasn't such a fuck up like Queer Barry said he was the withdrawal would have turned out differently.

If the goddamn Democrats hadn't illegitimately stole the election from the American people and Trump was President the withdrawal would have been smooth and then the US wouldn't be the laughing stock of the world. Also, we wouldn't have all this inflation, high cost of energy, lower family income, high interest rates or a queer/trannie/DEI military that can't even plan a withdrawal without fucking it up.

Anybody that voted for Potatohead is an idiot. That is a fact. Even worse is a moron like you trying to provide pathetic excuses for his incompetency. That makes you a real dickhead.
