The dementist in chef “forgets” to mention that he negotiated that exact deal.
He wanted to host the Taliban at Camp David but was stopped.
He never even consulted the Afghan government.
He released thousands of Taliban prisoners back to the battlefield.
This is HIS deal.

People don't even remember what happened with Trump's withdrawal and rightly so. Actual conflicts involving actual enemies are going on right now, and we have an asset of those enemies on the MAGA ticket.

This is the only response needed to Trump and Vance questioning anybody's service or commitment.

Honestly, such a withdrawal from Afghanistan was always going to be a really messed up affair, and it didn't make any difference which political party was planning it. Pres. Bush and the Republicans put us in there, Trump made the promise to end the occupation and it was Pres. Biden, love him or hate him for how he did it, was the president who got the U.S. the hell out of there. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy.

Good luck with that, it was Trump’s deal.

And a Biden-Harris botched withdrawal that got our heroes killed.

Trump started the withdrawal by making an agreement with the Taliban and releasing 6,000 Taliban terrorists.

Joint Declaration between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States of America for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan
https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/02.29.20-US-Afghanistan-Joint-Declaration.pdf
There was a clear withdrawal process, declaration that would have kept essential Bagram Airfield-BAF fully operational to evacuate personal, Afghan staff,
Trump negotiated a phased exit strategy......The Biden administration inexpiably undermined this declaration, ignoring his own security council, leading to tragedy and chaos. Closing Bagram.
The Cost of President Biden's Retreat from Afghanistan

To even suggest that Vice President is not directly responsible for support this insane policy, is the final insult to families of the deceased.
Biden Presidency administrations criminal incompetence, sowed the seeds for todays delinquent middle eastern foreign polices in Gaza/Israel on the brink of all out war.
Had Biden simply kept to the Trumps declaration, many lives would have been saved.

Yes, I agree with Trump.

I see that he suppressed his gag reflex about being with wounded warriors, or in his words “losers and suckers” long enough for a photo-op.
How brave of him.
Maybe that was his second Vietnam after Studio 54?

Trump participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery honoring the 13 servicemembers killed during the U.S. exit

While Trump was honoring these thirteen brave souls, Biden was on the beach and Kamala was… I don’t know what she was doing because, from what I heard, her schedule was empty.

And gave a big thumbs up, as one does at a somber occasion.
