@MartyMoore659@mchooyah Clown take. Everyone signed up voluntarily knowing they could potentially be put in harms way and/or killed. Quit being obtuse.
@JoelWBerry Do us a favor and upload the receipt. The only way this is feasible is if you split 1 lb of protein between the 8 of you and if that’s the case your family is malnourished.
Grocery prices are insane. They’re still rising. Addressing this problem should be the number one priority of every elected leader. End the stupid foreign wars and focus on this issue. It’s one of the main reasons socialists are gaining power.
I think it’s about time for the geriatric fossils who run our country to go take their evening meds, go sit in the corner, and let some younger people take control. These boomers have entirely gutted our quality of life, spending power, and our international relations. “Have some ice cream boomer, we even brought the kind you like with the wooden spoons. We’ll take it from here.”
Presidents never set out to start endless wars or to take casualties, they slide into it.
Operation Enduring Freedom kicked off the war on terror. Within its first 5 months, we lost 4 of our troops to hostile fire.
The initial phases of OEF leaned heavily on Special Ops/CIA and air power in order to mitigate the need for major ground forces.
The speed & proficiency of our commandos and the low casualty rate led President Bush to believe we’d have the same results by applying more military power in Iraq & by doubling down in Afghanistan.
We know what happened next.
Recent history informs us of the consequences of continuing down this path today. We must learn from the failures of the last few decades’ entanglements and choose to end this war now, before we lose more American lives in a war we know we will eventually walk away from.
Maneuver to a new position and avoid the bloodshed—walk away now, then reengage diplomatically to open the SOH.
