An internal report that warned of the likely reaction of unsupported Afghani forces at least 2 months ago – and should’ve jumpstarted planning for evacuations and destruction/retrieval of materiel. Comparing it to the leaking of the “Pentagon Papers” re: Vietnam.
The Deep State now controls everything through licensing (h/t to Hypatia). Few Americans are willing to risk their net worth for the sake of a nation that has coddled them.
I suppose inimical forces are successful up to a certain extent in their propaganda against the USA & India. Closed societies like China & Russia from where nothing comes out are making use of this vulnerability of free societies.
Absolutely, and we seem to be getting ‘uglier’ by the minute – at home and abroad.

I am sure that the United States is full of great leaders and wise men. What happened to them? Where are they when the country needs them the most?

A good question, Commander; they’re beginning to be heard at the local level; school boards, etc. I hope it doesn’t take long to be more widely heard.

Indeed, so disturbing that the story isn’t available, but it made the evening news on Fox News Channel.

Sadly so, Commander, but as long as the hearts of the brave are beating in our two countries, we are not yet conquered.
