“A Navy carry team moves a transfer case containing the remains of Navy Corpsman Maxton W. Soviak, 22, of Berlin Heights, Ohio, Sunday, Aug. 29, 2021, during a casualty return at Dover Air Force Base, Del. According to the Department of Defense, Soviak died in an attack at Afghanistan’s Kabul airport, along with 12 other U.S. service members supporting Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.”
U.S. Rep’s. Lois Frankel, D-Fla. “I join those condemning the horrific attacks that claimed so many innocent lives, including those of American servicemembers. As the 
mother of a U.S. Marine veteran who served in Afghanistan, my heart is grieving for the families of those who were injured or killed,“Like so many Americans, I am grateful to our military, and our diplomatic and intelligence communities for their courage and patriotism.” It is illegal to place political signs on government property which Frankel and James are well aware. Here they are endorsing Biden for president. One of the worse traits of politicans is they can’t admit they may have been wrong. So what do they do? Must be Trump’s fault.
Watching the news I saw and listened to Congresswoman Lois Frankel speak on the bombing in Afghanistan’s Kabul airport. Frankel showed pictures of her son, in military garb, who served in Afghanistan and came home when his tour was up, and when questioned about Biden’s handling of the situation she said “this is not a time for politics., and I have faith in President Biden” I have been all over the internet and couldn’t find the interview to show readers. It’s gone! I don’t understand Frankel’s son being part of the story, and I assume it is the pride she has in her son’s service. I’m glad he’s safe but I can’t help but think thirteen members of the military were returned in flag draped coffins. Frankel can call her son and invite him for Sunday dinner. Family members of the 13 fallen heroes will never have the chance.
Aug. 6 — The Taliban takes control of its first province — the capital of Nimroz province in Afghanistan — despite the agreement it signed with the U.S.
Aug. 15 — Taliban fighters enter the Afghanistan capital Kabul; the Afghan president flees the country; U.S. evacuates diplomats from its embassy by helicopter.”
Aug. 16 — In a speech to the nation, Biden says, “I do not regret my decision to end America’s warfighting in Afghanistan,” and deflected blame for the government’s swift collapse.

The problem I’m having is why were the troops withdrawn before every American was safely removed and how about the thousands of Afghans who helped America in the war?
“U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.”
Now the Taliban has a list of names they can hunt down and murder.
WASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) “For the first time since 2001 there are no American troops in Afghanistan after the United States completed the evacuation of most of its citizens and thousands of at-risk Afghans.
The Biden administration has said it expects the Taliban to continue allowing safe passage for Americans and others to leave Afghanistan after the U.S. military withdrawal is completed.” My grandmother called that thinking Delusions of Grandeur, I believe it applies here.
Tens of thousands of at-risk Afghans, such as interpreters who worked with the U.S. military, journalists and women’s rights advocates, have also been left behind. It is unclear what their fate will be but officials are concerned that the Taliban may retaliate against them. Some officals are willing to tell the truth.

My final thought. This war in far from over. The fight will continue if not in Afghanistan then on the shores of America. Another Biden blunder, open our borders where US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it caught 180,034 migrants, mostly single adults, in May.” Thats one month, and please take a moment to read the graph.

Hopefully our airports are safer now since 9/11/2001 after terrorists entered the US and may have been told “Welcome to America” we taught them to fly planes, and they flew them into buildings. America was under attack. We entered Afghanistan. Is it possible the hundreds of thousands of illegals entering America do not mean us harm.
I don’t know the answer, I do know that America should never, ever leave American’s behind on the battlefield.
Now we have, but Biden met his deadline of withdrawal. Why don’t I feel good about it?
