Hawley has a responsibility to keep the memory of these Marines alive and to have answers as to why their sacrifice was in vane.

Josh may not be eligible to run again when the 14th Amendment is enforced in his case. If Republican really investigate the Afghanistan withdraw, all they will find is that their Cheeto Messiah sent Mike Pompeo to Doha, Qatar in Jan 2020 to sign America's first ever surrender to a foreign enemy, agreeing to leave in April 2021 and to release all Taliban prisoners. The prisoner release lead to the Taliban retaking control over every village, town, and city before the election in 2020. Then Trump slow walked the transition to the Biden administration, leaving them holding the bag Trump set them up with when he surrendered.

@@solotraveler6025 No. There is NO WAY they "lost" 2 trillion. Sorry. That is epic levels of deep DEEP fraud. The Defense Department should be funded at ZERO dollars, telling them they have 2 trillion dollars to find to find themselves for a while. Until they account for EVER penny, noore funding. They are clearly useless anyway. Haven't won a war since WW2, fucked up Afghanistan badly, and are now more focused on pronouns and equity for wamens than war.

My dad served the gulf war, iraq, afghan and just about everything in the middle east during his years of service. And yet we're here, just about 1 year since we left the middle east. No transparency into the governments fuck up. Why aren't we seeing anyone answer for this.

I learned that Obama was 47 when he was inaugurated & J.F.K was 43 then. Senator Josh Hawley is 42 now. I'd be delighted to see Senator Hawley being nominated to run for the White House in 2024. Thanks to Forbes Breaking News, I've watched many many clips of congressional hearings/meetings in the past several years, and I find Senator Hawley to be patriotic, fair, and intelligent, ready to represent American leadership and values here and abroad.

So he can lead his own coupe using the knowledge he gained helping trump attempt to carry out his? Great idea

We want accountability, all those responsible must be held accountable. These people are never held accountable and until they are you don't get what you want.

I've never understood why, since everyone at the top including the Administration and senior military officials, knew long beforehand that we would be leaving....why wasn't a concise and well conceived plan put in place to start the evacuation process long before the DAY OF DEPARTURE??!!

[@commies.are.not.people]

@@MrLarrybyrne it was intentional. Trump had made a peace agreement that the Taliban, Afghan government, and ISAF all agreed on. The pull out was supposed to be completed on May 1st 2020.but Biden said no and wanted Sept 11th pull out day. This pissed the Taliban off and they cut off all negotiations.

[@commies.are.not.people]

@@MrLarrybyrne anything trump did was bad, no matter what. Another example was insulin, trumped signed an executive order (EO) capping insulting and Biden immediately overturns it with his own EO. Then later brings it back with another EO and says he fixed it.
