The Tragic Uncle Joe Show In Afghanistan
Dear Editor,
During my 20+ years as a soldier I participated in many military operations, both well publicized and some low key. Most went pretty much as planned and some not so much.
All that having been said, the … circus … we sat and watched at the airport in Kabul was a wonderful example of what we have to look forward to from The Uncle Joe Show for as long as we allow it. It became tragic near the end when 13 of my brothers and sisters were killed by a suicide bomber.
Retaliation was required. What was Uncle Joe going to do? Of course, this is an excellent opportunity to introduce his master military stratagem he named, “Over the Horizon Strike.” No more military casualties! Remote control revenge!
The strike is launched, a truck load of suicide “martyrs” the target. “Multiple explosions” erupted. Multiple suicide bombers stopped by Joe and his new military strategy … NOT!
One source says after an exhaustive eight plus hours of reconnaissance by what was reported to have been Taliban personnel, a Predator drone launched a Hellfire missile and killed … wait for it … an Afghan aid worker and up to nine children loading water for refugees!!
Right after the strike but before someone else pointed out that it was civilians – local aid workers and children – Biden and his cronies were high fiving each other over their “retaliatory strike” before bothering to confirm who and what they did. I will give them credit for admitting (reluctantly and much later) they misidentified the target and had not verified what the target was before making the hit. Or they let themselves be used by the Taliban to give us one last black eye.
What has me concerned (and scared pants-less) is all of this, plus what has happened on our southern border up to now, is just the beginning. If this is what he can do in 10 months, God help us for the next three years. The only saving grace is that there is another election in 2022 where we have a chance to at least gain the majority in the legislative branch and minimize the damage until 2024. Until then, we as conservatives must hold our ground. We must stand together or hang separately.
The choice is ours.

I am afraid the breaching of the Capital and the strategy of running against anything and anyone Donald Trump will keep dementiaJoe and his policies and governance around well past 2022 and 2024.
Instead of offering America an alternative, Republicans are still talking about a stolen election and trying to purge congressmen and Senators who are not bowing to anything Trumpian. As a moderate Republican (or Rino, I suppose) our divided party scares me now more than anything. As we saw in 2020, Americans will elect a tired old man, fronting for Bernie, Nancy and Chuck over Trump and his followers. They knew what was coming. It didn’t matter. California is where we are headed. The recall got crushed. Apparently that is what America wants. Plus, a stacked Supreme Court. A stacked Senate. One party rule. A government controlled life. That’s where we are headed.
Thanks Donald.
David, I strongly disagree with your assessment of Republicans plus the majority of Americans do not want to be like CA.
Don’t be such a snowflake. Man up dude. You’re in the great minority with your misguided opinion.
I hope you and others who served in the military know that there are civilians who not only appreciate all the sacrifices you’ve made for your country but feel a duty to do as much to save our country. We know it’s what we owe you for your service to our country. We will not stop working to preserve our freedoms here at home.
Deborah, I thank you for your kind words of thanks and support. Please know that they are humbly received by an overwhelming majority of veterans.
As I have said time and time again, We The People have a duty and responsibility to step up and makr the necessary changes to our government, not in form but in who is there to represent us.
The key word there is ‘represent’, bot rule.
First and foremost Alan, and to all my fellow Veterans here, “Welcome Home and Thank You for Your Service.” Whenever I receive that recognition, I always respond with, “my privilege to serve” and to this day I feel the same obligation to my Country to protect and defend our Nation and the Constitution in any way I can. I am greatly saddened by the state of our Union that the results of a fraudulent election have rendered and never thought I would live to see the last best hope for freedom be decimated by a domestic overt threat currently being carried out in America. That said, I will NEVER lose Faith and will NEVER give up nor give in to the tyranny this gov’t is subjecting us to. Adjust, adapt, and overcome! Thank you Rhino for providing this Forum and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
