Who Is Responsible

 

Yesterday made it official. We lost. Not because of the American or allied troops on the ground doing the actual fighting, and dying, but because of incompetent leadership.

Everyone in the media and many war vets are placing the blame on Biden, and well they should, after all he has been in the senate, been vice president twice, and now is allegedly the commander in chief, during all of this, so yes he and his failed policies and short shortsightedness should be blamed, but he is hardly the only one.

Go back twenty years and walk with me through the dark times right after 911. We bombed the living hell out of the Taliban in the beginning. We almost completely smashed them into oblivion. President Bush could have left it there and made it very clear to the world and especially terrorist that if you attack us we will utterly destroy you. Reagan did that to Libya and they stayed silent for 30 years but no that wasn't enough for the Bush/Cheney clan. Why? Because war pays,especially for them and their contractor friends.

But even blaming them isn't enough. The military leadership is responsible as well. Since Vietnam we have fought in a series of conflicts with no real plan to win. Somehow military leadership, with the PC pushing of the politicians, got it into their silly heads, that what these people wanted was our style of government. So we needed to win the hearts and minds of the people rather then to utterly crush our enemies, then they act surprised when the people surrender in mass to our enemies, once we leave.

Just in my life time; Vietnam, Gulf war, ( we kicked them out of Kuwait but didn't finish the job) Iraq ( or gulf war 2) and Afghanistan have all been lost because of the incompetence, and the greed, of those that are supposed to be defending this country, from the president's on down to the generals, intel and the un elected swamp critters and government contractors, all are to blame.

But has anyone resigned over their failures? Nope. They try to blame Trump, the try to blame “bad intel” but they never place the blame or take responsibility for their politically correct policy failures.

To all of us who have fought in these wars, know that we have fought honorably with courage, and commitment, our so called leadership can never understand. I am proud of all of us and I will not hang my head in shame for my part in this war. The shame goes to those who abandoned us and our allies.
