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.

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.

(19,348 posts)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.

(43,181 posts)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.

Marines know what they signed up for.

(70,501 posts)... 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.

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

(3,469 posts)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!
