    Unlike leftists, I think all life has value. We cannot bring 7 billion people into the US. Surely someone like you can comprehend this. That doesn't mean that brown people deserve to die, as you implied.

    You think this is an anthill? You just want to blow it off, the old let's just move on?

    Who is being held responsible and does Biden, the CnC have to guts to hold someone responsible and to proper consequences? Did this investigation announce who would be brought before a courts martial for this friendly fire case for which it appears the evidence to conduct it was sketchy at best. Perhaps we should warn everyone in Iraq not to load water or milk jugs into your car or have you children run up to your car when you get else you will be taken out.

    Funny, we had minimal troops in Afghanistan with zero casualties in over a year and a half, and Biden decides to mangle the exit by siding with terrorists and we have 13 casualties in an hour.

    What a dolt liberals elected* for "President".

    * cheated the election

    As I listen to the explanation, you know how all of this could've been avoided: Someone, anyone on the strike team coming up to the vehicle and being like: "Hey what are you doing, we suspect you of possibly being a terrorist."

    I'm reminded of a phrase from a fictional series that applies here: "The only ones who should kill, are the ones who are prepared to be killed."-Lelouch Vi Britannia, Code Geass.

    We've got to see the chain of the decision, who made the call on the flimsy evidence they had. If it was McKenzie alone who made the final decision based on grainy video of someone they did not even have a name, based on loading jugs that could have contained ANYTHING and no intelligence of what they DID contain, based on that car simply pulling up in front of the home of a known ALLY, who said the children running up to the car were ISIS-K terrorist.

    Or do you just want a "Heck happens all the time so what it killed innocent civilians let's all just move on" and no one is held accountable?

    McKenzie said he he takes full responsibilty, what exactly does that mean if he doesn't take the consequences of that responsibility.

    Yes, becuase there was a deal signed that said we will leave your country if you stop attacking our troops. So they did

    From what I know there was no strike team. We had nothing on the ground. It was all done by signals intelligence, a drone flying thousands of miles overhead. Biden is going to conduct "over the horizon" airstrikes based on intelligence that cannot determine a child from a terrorist?

    And once the liberal friends in the Taliban realized that we were really leaving, they and their other terrorist pals attacked Americans.

    Figures.

    Now, get back to defending your position that "only brown people died and that their lives are worth less than white lives".

    I'm still waiting to hear your logic on this. Get busy, Darth.

    I'll split hairs because I don't totally blame McKenzie for this, we all know he's the fall guy here. I'd allow him to have an honorable discharge and his pension(as the removal of the officer is IMO more important) and we have bigger fishes to fry: The Biden/Harris/Milley trio of incompetents.

    :roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    we have drones that fly at altitudes of thousands of miles?

    are you sure about that?

    And negotiate with the elected Afghan government and not attempt to take over more provincial capitals. When they didn't Trump attacked. And as you noted they stopped attacking. Then Biden said deals off I surrender just let me wait until September so I can have my political theater and the Taliban started attacking and taking over the country and ran us out.

    Biden is more worried about his next sponge bath than the lives of troops in Afghanistan or the lives of Afghanis that helped fight the Taliban..

    I thought I heard McKenzie reference to a strike team in relation to the operations during his explanation of what happened.

    That was not in the deal. In fact our deal said we would help the Taliban get international recognition.

    You know, where was your ‘**** happens’ attitude when Floyd died?

    You might also want to know that Navy commanders lose their jobs if a ship runs aground or collides with another ship, and that happens even if no one is injured. And then there is the army officer who was disciplined for saying people need to be held accountable for the screw up Biden caused.

    It's cute how you devalue non-whites. Your words, not mine. But typical for leftists.

    Do people blame the POTUS when ship runs aground or collides with another ship?

    Do people blame the POTUS when the F-16 pilot killed Canadian troops?

    Sure about what? What do you think the missile was launched from? They fly at TENS of thousands of feet what are you laughing about?

    Rumsfeld twice offered his resignation over Abu Ghraib. That kind of integrity will not be found under Biden.

    You said it, and can't provide any evidence that you're mimicking me, so that's all on you. People can see you for what you are - a leftist that thinks that brown people are worth less than whites. You said this yourself.
