Americans we're killed and were left behind enemy lines and then Joe Biden gave the Taliban all of our military vehicles, ammo and weapons! Then Joe Biden drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 civilians, including an aid worker and seven children, General Milley called it a “righteous strike”.

Our brave soldiers died, we spent 3 trillion dollars, and what did we end up with? The defense contractors made millions, so they are happy. Meanwhile our country has a host of domestic social problems that we could have spent that 3 trillion dollars on. Sickening and pathetic.
