Afghanistan has become such a huge, public cluster**** that it can't be hidden and his campaign is likely losing little by admitting that truthI saw this article a few minutes ago. Granted, he's running for Senator in Mo. as a democrat. But, he's a Marine.
I served in Afghanistan as a US Marine, twice. Here’s the truth in two sentences

Do you happen to have a quote or link about his position on whether 1/6 was an insurrection and the greatest challenge to our democracy since The War Between the States? If so, that would likely be a more useful tell about his honesty going forward
Even thoroughly modern Milley had postings with the 82nd airborne and 5th SFG and Bootyjuice and Kerry both served (with both hands) so just being military isn't a guarantee against backing the wrong faction vis a vis liberty and freedom.
More like a vaccination
Yes, but so was Trump'sI thought his assessment of the Afghanistan situation was realistic.
Sigh. Not actually trying to pick a fight here, Alpo (I know ... hard to believe)I don't give a rat's ass about a prior president's opinion on anything. And that includes Obama.
I look at a few news aggregating sites each day. This article was on one of those sites. It's as simple as that. As I said: his views fit with what I believed to be the case and I made it available here. Nothing more than that.Sigh. Not actually trying to pick a fight here, Alpo (I know ... hard to believe)
But the cynic in me wonders what you thought of this guy, West Pointer, 8 years in the sandbox, Ranger-qualified aviator (Apaches) running for the senate in michigan but as a Republican

The cynic in me wonders if you are just showcasing someone who you believe might make democrats look more palatable or if you would seriously consider a good soldier candidate regardless of party
The seeming inability to acknowledge Trump was right doesn't leave me optimistic

I'm done with agendas and arguing about Trump vs XXXX. No one is going to change anyone's mind on INGO and while I may have in the past argued against what I believed to be insanity, I no longer have the urge.
And even a broken clock is right twice a day.I don't know anything about the guy other than what I put in the previous post. It may be confirmation bias on my part, but I thought his assessment of the Afghanistan situation was realistic.
ANYONE can be a broken clock. Just not all broken clocks eat their crayons.So, Marines are broken clocks?
Thank you for your service.
You’re not going to start bringing up DD 214s are you?So, Marines are broken clocks?

What he's saying is right, that this was inevitable. But the way to judge what happened depends on exactly which parts were inevitable. I'm glad we're cutting our losses and getting out. We needed to do that. However, it was not inevitable that this had to be Saigon 2.0. That part is something that should be utterly shocking because it is inexcusable.I saw this article a few minutes ago. Granted, he's running for Senator in Mo. as a democrat. But, he's a Marine.
