"McCollum spoke about the loss of her son on radio channel SiriusXM Patriot’s “The Wilkow Majority,” where she said, “I just want all you Democrats who cheated in the election, or who voted for him legitimately, you just killed my son."

F**K her. Partisanship reigns supreme above all.

Edit: Joe Biden prevented further military deaths by leaving. Had America stayed, the Taliban would have attacked the troops.

...her son's life would have been in just as much danger, and probably more, under the Former Office Occupant.

If Trump had followed through with withdraw, it would have been bound to be a disaster. Or if he reneged on it, our troops would still be in danger over there.

Yes, the deaths of the 13 servicemen and several dozen civilians was undeniably tragic, but let's not delude ourselves into thinking there was some better way around it.

Unfortunately, Ms. McCullum is Exhibit A to the dangers of blinding partisanship and cult-of-personality politics.

Partisanship and ideology is above all. For this reason, the militaristic tone needs to shut down and the worship of the uniform needs to stop. But as we all know, military service only matters when the professional right wants it to.

And the Commander-in-Chief, regardless of party, predictably might end up being a target of ire--rightfully or wrongly--of the loved ones of a fallen service person simply because he or she is the one who made the final order.

And I know President Biden understands that, and he understands that there might be family members who are angry at him for that particular reason. And he accepted that risk when he took the job.

However, blaming voters or expounding upon baseless theories of stolen elections is not rational thinking, even for the grieving.

Biden prevented more deaths down the road.

Marines know what they signed up for.

... him are responsible for the actions of ISISk terrorists in Afghanistan? But Kathy McCollum just lost her son and
she is angry so I give her pass on her statement. I don't give a pass to the people and nations (see Russia) who
are feeding her and millions of other Americans such total misinformation.

Her son was a US Marine...and a sniper! The moment he took the oath, he knew what the outcome might be...and she only dishonors his memory...

Afghanistan?

TFG refused to do anything about it and instead seemed to be encouraging it.

Does she NOT know that comes with a certain amount of risk of death. I'm sorry her son died, but to blame Biden or the voters who voted for him is a crock of shit!
