Joe Don’t Care
Dear Editor,
It has been a year since our supposed commander in chief, Uncle Joe, had us tuck tail and run from Afghanistan using the bodies of 13 of my brothers and sisters in arms to pave the way. Add to this he left behind people that supported our military at the risk of their lives and the lives of their families. And there are still Americans there despite what propaganda his mouthpieces say.
I’ve made it no secret that if I were 20 years younger I would be part of those private organizations that are trying to get those people out. All I can say is, God bless those that have stepped up to do what our “professional politicians” don’t have male body parts to do.
I am old enough to remember watching the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Vietnam – the videos of helicopters hovering over the roof while people were packed on. What we didn’t see was the scenes at the gates as people were trying to get into the embassy for evacuation.
The worst part is the administration (read Biden) has yet to admit they did it wrong. They won’t even admit they made major mistakes. And everybody remembers watching that C-17 rolling into take-off position with that mob chasing it, climbing on it. People fell off those aircraft as they took off, clinging to the plane in an attempt to flee. Several were reported to have fallen to their deaths. There is one aspect of this that the overwhelming majority of people don’t think about: I can bet anything you want that several of those pilots and crews still can’t sleep at night knowing what happened.
But Joe don’t care.
Airborne all the way,
Alan Marshall
Republicans didn’t care when they took us into the war with Afghanistan where 2,448 US soldiers died and 20,752 solders wounded because Republicans had no exit strategy. I guess Alan thinks the 13 that died under Biden are all that matter and not the other thousands of Americans who suffered fighting the callosal mess that Bush created. And I guess Iraq doesn’t matter either…the war that was based on a lie (you know how republicans love their lies)!
Biden did it right. Just get out and let Afghanistan fend for itself.
You are right, Chris. The absurd expedition in Afghanistan was an exercise in futility.
Our dear country spent 20 years there, spent billions of Dollars, and untold dear lives of our young men and women. And then there’s the disfigured and disabled people too.
What a tragedy.
And for what? So we could ultimately hand Afghanistan back to the Islamic Fundamentalists, just as it was before we gave up all our blood and treasure? Seriously..? That was it?
George W. Bush was an extremely stupid President, and his mistakes were costly to our nation, and particularly to the brave servicemen and women who were made to sacrifice their limbs, sanity, and even their lives – for nothing.
In this instance, you are 100% correct.
Boy Chris , I sure wouldn’t be depending on you for any support , you would just WALK AWAY ..GEZZ BRO DO YOU NEED SOME UH YOU KNOW , THOSE THINGS.
No, idiot, Biden did not do it right. You don’t leave behind all your weapons systems.
The truth of the matter is we never should have been over there to begin with. Yes, we were after those who perpetrated 9/11, but once that was done, we should have left then. We were never over there to win.
Gee, if only we had a President who didn’t believe in our getting embroiled in useless foreign wars…
America has always ( in words only ) has principles of No on left behind. That is till this so called Democratic president came out of his basement to lead America,we have been in a state of shock since .He is the biggest disappointment of a leader in my lifetime. He has made some of the worst decisions concerning America possible.
The worst part of the problem is that he is incapable of being the sole leader of America,so we have Puppet Masters behind the curtains pulling his chain.
If we were to impeach him look at What’s next,our brilliant VP. If she were to be replaced then we really do have a problem with Pelose.This has to be the worst assortment of leader even in the worst 3rd world country imaginable. Come on Democrats even the worst Republican is miles ahead of this group. Alan you had a great senopsis of our current state of affairs.
My understanding is Joe plans to run again,in 2024.
Wait…worse than Bush sending soldiers to die in Iraq in an endless war based on a lie? Trillions of $ spend with no real progress?
You must have your left sock on your right foot again Chrisie.
During the fall of Saigon, I remember seeing Vietnamese climbing the gates/walls at US embassy on TV news. You can find various video on Youtube. Like this

I also remember Vietnamese soldiers stripping off their uniforms much earlier in the fall. Just like Afghan army did.
Here’s a good insider account of the fall of Saigon from CIA operative who was there, even at the gate trying to get people in.

There is no shame in what our Current Commander and Chief has done to destroy the pride and sacrifices so many have made to make our Counntry Great. It’s such a disgrace to watch our current leaders destroy what was once a Great Country. Thank you Alan Marshall for one that understands and expresses what a shipwreck America is headed for unless there is dramatic change!
Jim Donaldson
By the end of his third term, Bathhouse Barry and his ventriloquist dummy will complete his “fundamental transformation of America” .
I’m glad I’m old and won’t have to survive this trainwreck much longer. ☹️
Still cracks me up how right wingers one hand call Biden sleepy Joe with mental deficiency yet on the other hand is change the world to his ideals (that they can never really describe yeah claim you should fear).
So which is it. Is he old sleepy Joe or a powerhouse leader who is changing the world?
Lol, I am not a Biden fan but I certainly don’t fear him or his agenda. It will all change again as the politics swing the other way. The world is not ending because of Biden.
He’s an old demented gropey grandpa puppet. Guess who all is in control of the strings, Chris.
Nice misogyny, Alan.
Hey Julio oops sorry I meant Juan all the J names sound alike. What does Alan’s letter have to do with hating women. Just curious.
I think Juan is triggered by the generic term of “brothers in arms” which implies soldiers and conveys the same concept with a co-ed military, but people like Juan have hissy fits about wording. Juan is whining about non-woke terminology. But like the rest of the leftists, he might not even know what a woman is, so it’s a bit confusing for the left to make their points! Pathetic.
Hate how Rhino allows this racist type of comment. How pathetic you attack a person’s name based on your cultural bias and ignorance. Pathetic
No one is attacking his name. We’re attacking his asinine comment. Just like you, Chris. We never attack your name, just your asinine comments.
A classic move of the racist is to use generic cultural names to call out someone of a different heritage. For Example: a racist sees a Hispanic person and calls them out by saying ‘Hey Julio’ using an awful imitation of of a hispanic accent. Classic racist move. Another example is a racist calling an Arab looking man Akmed when you don’t know their name. Another classic is seeing an American Indian woman and calling her Pokahontas.
Speech that is intended to offend should be edited….that is why they are called editors.
“Speech that is intended to offend should be edited….that is why they are called editors.”
Oh, like your favorite phrase, “NUTTER”? That is clearly designed to offend, regardless of the excuse you will come up with for using it. If you resort to calling names, Chris, which you do, you can’t get offended when someone else does it just because it does not fit into your rules about what’s fair in name calling.
Don’t be a hypocrite. I don’t know, maybe stop calling names if you want to act like you’re above it.
yeah, because free speech is bad when some leftist gets “offended” because someone said “hurtful things”.
you people need to grow a pair and quit praying you can find some “racism” to snivel about.
also maybe you could check a thesaurus and learn that there’s a difference between racism,prejudice and bigotry but it’s much easier to scream racism every 15 seconds to get more virtue signaling points.
You could always stop reading the Rhino. As you say Simple
Are really defending a dude’s fake name? Martillo is Spanish for Hammer.. Juan Martillo is a Spanish version of John Hammer. It’s obviously not Hammer commenting either, just another fake name.
Gosh. Don’t be dumb.
Don I wasn’t being dumb I really was making fun of his name and don’t care who doesn’t like it.
I was mainly addresing Chris, who was getting high and mighty about namecalling when he does the dame thing.
Yeah, calling someone a nutter, which Chris loves to do, is no better than using older school pejorative terms for mental dysfunction. Chris, you are such a hypocrite, making fun of people’s mental health situation. How pathetic of you to attack someone with such bigoted language.
Misogyny..? Misogyny…???
What are you talking about, “Juan Martillo”?
Timmy, it is all about intent. But you be you.
And how can you determine another person’s intent?
Are you a mind reader?
And not a word from Rhino about how trump negotiated us into this jam. He released 5000 Taliban (terrorists) with nothing in return. Wanted to invite the Taliban to the white house. Agreed to abandon Afghanistan 90 after his term was over. Biden was working with the disaster that the orange child left for him. Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good pile of bs. BTW, what does RHINO mean? Try RINO.
Cite your sources
For those of you confused, no surprise really, here is the misogyny.
“ what our “professional politicians” don’t have male body parts to do”
See, what Alan’s rhetoric is implying here is that only people with penis and testes could possibly solve our political problems. Taking a run at someone not being manly enough is a dog whistle for saying women couldn’t even begin to do this. That is the misogyny.
I’m not offended, I’m just calling it out. And I use the name Juan Martillo so the obvious racial attacks can be outed as well. Did you not see that example either, here:
“ Hey Julio oops sorry I meant Juan all the J names sound alike.” Yes, a clear attack on my assamine comments, not a internet troll trying to say “I have no respect for Latin culture so much that I can’t even distinguish the difference between names that start with the same letter even though they phonetically have different sounds.”
You don’t know me, yet consistently people reply telling me to go back where I came from. Weird, because the only country I’ve ever lived in is America. Perhaps you are so insecure in yourselves that you feel threatened by anything that appears non-white, non-Christian, or non-American? What snowflakes! Thanks for the giggles.
Sounds like you have thin skin and no sense of humor. Welcome to the USA of the offended
You are a real piece of work. The only way to can defend yourself is to try to take words literally, knowing full well what was meant. Your implication I don’t that I am saying women are not capable is, in your words, a dog whistle for saying “I can’t argue his point so I’ll try throwing it off to a different subject.
As a retired soldier I can tell you I have worked with plenty of women who earned my respect and admiration for their ability to do their job well. I worked under women who taught me things. I have worked with women who I learned to respect because of their abilities.
So, “Juan Martillo” my question to you is do you have the male testicles to quit hiding behind a false name or will you come on out. I’m man enough to use my own name, are you?

Your turn “Juan”
Having the balls to do something is an ancient and commonplace metaphor for intestinal fortitude, for obvious reasons (men are generally more willing to face risk, and are less fearful than women). That’s just a reality.
There is no hatred towards women implicit in its use – only in your febrile imagination, and your eagerness to paint conservatives as bigots.
I am a conservative and I believe the best British Prime Minister of my lifetime was Margaret Thatcher – who had more balls than any of the male PMs of our era. By your criterion that is a misogynistic statement – but that suggestion is absurd. You’re as unhinged as “Chris”.
——-
And I have a customer whose name is Jarvis Xxxxx and who has told me that several of his work colleagues have been referring to him as Jasper for years. He is white. Sometimes people just make mistakes with names. But Leftists will never miss a chance to try to smear others as bigots and haters, will they? Get off your hobby horse, buddy.
And one more thing. We certainly don’t feel threatened by inadequate, judgemental, prejudiced little creeps like you.
Your imagination is running wild again. It must be an interesting little world you live in.
Revel clearly just made a mistake with the name. Definitely wasn’t a comment on the Hispanic sound of it at all….
Keep gaslighting everyone you don’t understand and/or agree with, folks. As I said, not surprising that you all don’t even realize that this kind of rhetoric is misogynistic and harmful to women.
Still not offended, but also not stupid. You folks are absolutely insane and really don’t like when someone tells you they believe you are wrong, sick , and disgusting. Can’t you just take it or is your skin too thin and you skull too thick and empty? What snowflakes these Rhinos are….
Hey amigo I didn’t make a mistake with the name if I had I would admit it As far as the conversation being harmful to women my wife reads all the comments and has a good laugh about them as I do. By the way she thinks you are full of biden liberal bullsh&t. Enjoy your day.
You have failed to counter a single issue, or even address one. Your response consists merely of more insults, smears, and gibes.
You have nothing.
You’re pathetic, “Juan” – Absolutely pathetic.
Folks, “Juan” and Chris thrive on goading everyone to get into it wtih them. They know they can’t support their points with facts.
I for one have decided to take my grandmother’s advice from long ago.
“Never wrestle with a pig You both get dirty, but the pig loves it.”
But it sure is fun to repudiate and humiliate the pigs, isn’t it Alan? We need to refute their Leftist BS, or the feeble-minded might believe it and vote (D). There are enough like that already.
Cheers!
Lol, my response laid out several facts which I noticed you didn’t reply to since you couldn’t. Alan is just angry because his empty rhetoric is getting called out yet again for what it is….
You do have a good point Austin.
Called out by you, Tuna-fish, and Fake Latin Hammer?
I don’t think I would be too proud of being on that very short list of undistinguished gentlemen.
Chris my wife can’t decide who is the dumbest you or the amigo.
Another you all get after me for using the term nutter when the childish statements like Rebel are the norm. Funny what triggers right wing sheep.
Chris, hey dumb dumb. You uptight socialist really tickle me. You and the butt hurt immigrant grasping your pearls and falling back on your fainting couches over every post by Alan or Austin is hilarious! It’s no wonder you have so many misspellings in your responses. Also funny! I think that is why you’re called libtards… well that and being a stupid ass puppet for the socialist party. Free free free everything is free except the slaves to the party.
I guess I should make the point I felt obligated to underscore for WON Guitarillo if the Balls thing isn’t as Austin says, a reference to the intestinal fortitude or the bravery of males over women, then tell me , either of you, why in hell does my insurance company charge me MORE for my son than my daughter when they are TWINS? Must by a misogynistic pricing system I’m sure. Please, don’t take too long, this is a timed exam!
Ooooo, I know this one! Data! Young men have statistically more AND more sever accidents than women. Women also live longer!
Not complicated.
Not sure how I got pulled into the misogynistic conversation. I don’t actually agree with Juan on that argument. I only got involved of the use of calling someone Jullio because you assumed them Hispanic. Your opinion of me personally matters very little so type away.
Funny what a blatant hypocrite you are! You smear others as nutters, bigots and racists (including me – but you had to retract it and aologise), but you complain if others sling mud.
You are a classic hypocrite, Chris (who falsifies evidence).
True?
Nope. I just call out people who spread misinformation as you do. I am supporter of educated science versus rando talking heads such as yourself.
Sorry your feeling got hurt. I just call it as I see it…its nuts to think science is wrong and not to be ‘trusted’. Data and facts don’t lie. People like you do….you know nutters. The name fits. Not complicated.
My feelings are not hurt. I’m a door-to-door salesman. I have skin as thick as…. a Rhino.
So you’re wrong about that.
And I know more about the scientific method than you ever will.
Your stupidity is evident in your comments.
I suggest you refrain from displaying it. But you won’t. You’re not bright enough.
