Hey @Syskatine, your argument that Reps could give 2 shits about deaths in Afghanistan is a lie and meaningless when 74% of all deaths occurred under the watch of a Dem CIC, and under Trump 2.5% of the deaths occurred. Why did you vote for Obama a second time if this was so important to YOU and he accelerated the death rate his first 4 years over Bush? Seems to me Trump cared greatly about the death rate in Afghanistan as did Trump supporters as he was the first US President to get serious about a competent withdrawal plan. He did not expand the war, he drew down our fighting forces down to 2,500 and was keeping the Taliban in line with air strikes. In sleepy Joe's first 8 months in office he increased the average amount of deaths per month over Trump by 30%.
Don't forget, when the House and Senate voted on the war in Afghanistan, there was only 1 dissenting vote among all congressional members. One. This was a US war in every sense that was never just a Rep or Dem action, numerous budgets were approved over the years by Congress and approved by the President. The public at the time was fully for it. Dems were as hawkish as anyone.
Interestingly enough, Obama increased the slaughter of US soldiers at an unprecedented rate, from 11.60 per month under Bush, to almost 18 under Obama, a 55% increase!!!! Obama fed the war machine and led our boys to slaughter.
Trump did a great job of keeping the death rate down while negotiating a plan that was based on 4 conditions being met for withdrawal, an intelligent plan to leave. Under Trump, we had no deaths since Feb 2020, until Biden became Failure in Chief.
Facts don't lie @Syskatine, your party is the party of death, be it in the womb, in our streets (defund the police and increasing murder rate), unsecure borders (releasing COVID and criminals in our country), or defending US Citizens abroad by leaving Citizens behind to die. Your party gives 2 shits about who is dying, you and your ilk check your watches like Biden as the coffins come home, and Dims mock efforts of those taking it upon themselves to save American lives. All to retain power. You blame Republicans and Trump. Facts don't lie here. Of course Biden who promised to be the great uniter, is the great divider.
Your feeble attempts to gain the high ground politically on Afghanistan shows the moral inferiority of Liberals like you who only care about what they want and how to keep it to the exclusion of others.
