So if the Afghanistan War was lost back in 2003, why did the U.S. stay involved for so long? Very likely the reason is domestic and tied to QAnon. There are domestic companies that have been feed by U.S. government contracts related to the war in Afghanistan. They would just love a never-ending war paid for by American tax payers. Those companies wanted the government contracts to continue, so we kept the Afghan war up and running. Fearing the end of their corporate welfare, those companies aligned themselves with conspiracy theorists like QAnon. Of course, this is very dangerous given Donald Trump's attempted coup on January 6th. President Biden is responding to the Will of the American People and acting in the national security of the country. The influence of those companies has helped to perpetuate Republican Party propaganda. You can see it blatantly applied in their marketing. After the corporate welfare is cut off, they will be forced to come back to reality. The chaos in Kabul was inevitable once the U.S. invaded Iraq.

Be advised. Unfortunately, we should expect an increase of veteran suicides in the coming months. Especially for those who served in Iraq. We owe it to our veterans to help them during this difficult time. If you see any signs of trouble in a veteran, make sure they get assistance. In the future, keep an eye out for the possibility of International War Crime Tribunals. Given the illegal nature of the War in Iraq, members of the U.S. Military may face such scrutiny. I knew Operation Iraqi Freedom was a goatfuck from day one. I resigned my commission in protest.

Tim Powers - Send all complaints to oilman President George Bush for creating this debacle. The deaths of American service members in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the deaths of Iraqi citizens, and now the deaths of Afghan citizens rest squarely upon his shoulders. Yes, Dick Cheney manipulated the President. But when you assume a leadership position, you are ultimately responsible for what happens. This is just one of the nastier Republican messes President Joe Biden has to clean up. We could call it Operation Clean Up Republican Fuck Up.

The unnecessary, illegal, immoral invasion/occupation of Iraq created the situation and the "clean up." If the Russian Puppet was in charge, the debacle would be much, much worse. Republicans devalued America's name. The Biden-Harris administration will restore our reputation.
