We Are No Longer At War

 September 3 2021

“Since the start of U.S. military operations through to April this year, 2,448 American service members have been killed in Afghanistan, according to data from Linda Bilmes of Harvard University's Kennedy School and the Brown University Costs of War project, as reported by the Associated Press. An additional 3,846 U.S. contractors also lost their lives.”

We lost 12 warriors last week during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. It is a tragedy.  But... Those are the last men lost in a failed invasion of a sovereign nation.
That seems to be the only thing that is carried on the news lately, even eclipsing the Corona virus stories. The question is, where was the outrage when 2,448 service members, ans 3,846 contractors lost theirs?

Now even the left wing news sources are blaming President Biden for their loss. Don’t get me wrong, I am no fan of Biden, but he didn’t do it.  What he did do, was order us out of Afghanistan. The fault lies directly at the door of The Pentagon.  When the military commanders were given the order to evacuate, they dropped the ball. They didn’t remove all of our military hardware, buildings, etc. Instead, they pulled Afghans out, then our troops, and left trillions of dollars of resources to the Taliban.

The Taliban, of course made a show of bombing our people during the rout. They are the victors, and had to show that they drove out the Americans, and defeated us. Which, they did.

Thousands of Afghans will now be killed, enslaved, and degraded; just as they were 20 years ago. That is sad, but it is what it is. Thousands of Christians will be murdered, Martyred, if you please. Thousands of liberated, women will go back to being slaves and chattels. The Heroin trade will continue, as will the trade in hashish.

We lost.

But... We are out. We are no longer losing our best and bravest young men and women.  We are no longer spending trillions of dollars in a war that has bankrupted our nation. No more mothers crying over the deaths of their babies.  No more widows and orphans suffering because their husbands and fathers are no longer here to support and care for them.

Our government has fallen from within to the socialists. They need those trillions of dollars to advance their cause, and they will usse them for just that.

But we are no longer at war! Praise God.
