Just got a news flash that Taliban entered the capitol city and is awaiting a peaceful transfer of power. Thanks Washington.

That must be a real kick in the face to any veteran that served there.God Bless them all I know a couple. Think I will call them today. I lost a cousin there almost 20 years ago. Was in the Air Force. First snipers bullet hit his vest and knocked him over backwards. Second round hit at the bottom of it, went under it and entered his body. People give me cross-eyed looks when I say limited war is wrong. If we send young men into combat they should not be sorting good guys from bad. Destroy the country. If WWII is any indication, when cities are leveled and people are starving, they dont want to fight anymore. Help them get back on their feet and you have an ally.

Of just flood their border with Mexicans for a dozen years. That seems to be effective.

Hobbie, I called a friend that lives near the border. He told me there are Africans ans Middle Easterners crossing. Some central Americans and Mexicans but tens of thousands from other continents. They get get to Mexico and head north. Mexico is fine with it so long as they dont stay.

Wars go on and on not because we can’t win but they are run by temporary residents of the White House that have other agendas.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

They've sent him to the southern border two or three times a year for the past four or five years to lend a hand. I know it's anecdotal and just one man's opinion, but he says things are far worse than anything you'll ever see on TV. He's more frustrated with the media than anyone here ever could be. They're liars and propagandists for the left.

I don't know which is more impressive, this or the ISIS takeover during the administration of 44. What's even more impressive with 46 in the reigns is the speedy takeover of our country through our open southern boarder.
