I'm not sure what you are going on about.

Then even more disturbing that you would condemn the efforts of the Congressman under these circumstances.

What was it you essentially said? He deserves whatever tragedy is coming to him?

Like I said, some of you people have lost the plot.

Truth here.

If that was jondashipsu's mama and siblings over there, I bet the words would be different.

Not to worry. It's coming to jondashipsu's front door. They'll be whining like a frightened school girl when it does, wondering why somebody doesn't come to help. Too bad.

Thank you for your service to your country as a keyboard warrior. I feel safer knowing guys like you are out there. Sign up, serve, fight, put everything on the line, then come talk to me. Like I said guys like you are so hypocritical you claim to support those who served and stand up and clap for your hometown hero at your local sporting event, and feel like you are a true patriot but when you are actually speaking to someone that put their life on the line and has a different opinion then you base on actually having served and been there you shout them down and berate them. So today I salute you as a true patriot, Keep doing all the superficial stuff that makes you feel good, cause that is all that matters ,right, how it makes you feel? But god forbid you ever step up and serve in a combat .

So the fact I was there as an EOD tech and saw my friends die and I was fortunate enough to make it home when they weren't and then some of my friends that made it home then took their own lives to the point where it is hard to keep count means nothing? That somehow makes me am intellectual that doesn't know what I am talking about? And every guy that was in the military will tell you their first aim is to see peace. It is only you keyboard warriors that pound your keys that get off on war. Go sign up, serve, then get a clue, then we can talk. Until then I have nothing more to say to you.

Funny how you all claim to support those who served until one of us disagrees with you then we are shouted down and called non patriotic..

I have chewed the same dirt as you but have had different experience there as a British infantry soldier. My unit and i spent 107 days in a 360° contact at Nowzad which turned out to be one of the longest defences in British Army history. It was some fight!! Lol
But EOD guys are soldiers heroes and have earned the right to say anything they goddam please! So don't get twisted by some random person posting on a website.

I hope the congressman achieves his mission and returns safe.
I actually admire the hell out of that SOB

So, you signed up for job that was inherently dangerous, you did that job, you managed to make it back. I'm impressed ...

That doesn't grant you any moral superiority over anyone else. This man stood up and has put his own self at risk when someone was in need. The alleged president of the US and its military leaders laid down on the job and continue to lie about what they did, about their treasonous cowardice. I don't see any "keyboard warriors" here, just people who are sick of seeing cowards represent this country.

Truth here.

---YOU

I feel the moral superiority is coming from the likes of you and others. And as far as "if it were my mama and siblings", it was my siblings it was my brothers that were with me and fought with me and will be my siblings for the rest of our lives. Just an asinine statement right there.

Did you "represent this country" when you were able? OR is this what you consider representing your country?

a reply to: jondashipsu

You have no idea who I am or what I have done or where I come from.

So an attack on something stupid you said is an attack on all who served?

It's baffling that you think your service should operate as a shield against any personal criticism- particularly when the entire premise of such service is the idea that you're serving to protect American lives, American values, and the US Constitution.

But what do you do? You condemn the actions of another who took the same or greater risk than you to save lives.

Spare me your outrage. It's not hard to distinguish between honorable and dishonorable conduct.

When was Biden last in Afghanistan?

Can we make a trade?

2008!

www.wsj.com...

Afghan Interpreter Who Helped Rescue Biden in 2008 Left Behind After U.S. ExitMohammed, stranded in Afghanistan and hiding from the Taliban, makes a White House appeal: ‘Don’t forget me here’

Mohammed was a 36-year-old interpreter for the U.S. Army in 2008 when two U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters made an emergency landing in Afghanistan during a blinding snowstorm, according to Army veterans who worked with him at the time. On board were three U.S. senators: Mr. Biden (D., Del.), John Kerry (D., Mass.) and Chuck Hagel (R., Neb.).

If they oust Biden on the 25th Amendment, it will be Harris-Pelosi....
I think they are going to oust him and try to blame all the negative things that happened on him in an attempt to save the party from a certain collapse of support from the people and their votes before the 2022 election.

You repeating yourself in every posts leads me to believe you were never there.

Don't be that guy.

An easy out for the party would be for Harris to tell Joe to step down after she puts forward Articles of Impeachment, and in exchange for doing so she Pardon him and his family.

Then after Harris is made President, she should open an investigation into the 2020 election. Wait a week, then tell the American people that Trump rightfully won the election, and that she will be stepping down after he is sworn in. At the swearing in ceremony she would only have to say that the corruption in politics is so great that she is unable to get a hold of the issues, and that she tried to shut it down but failed this time around.

She then leaves all of the current mess for Trump to fix. She gets to walk away a victim of Joe Biden, and everyone else (even Hillary) can then just come forward and blame Joe for the political corruption in DC. Everyone gets a clean way out, and Biden gets a pardon. Problem solved for a while and nobody gets blamed with jail time.

I don't see any of them doing this, mainly due to the fact that Harris should have brought the Impeachment under the 25A already. I guess like everything else they talked about during their campaign, they forget that words have meaning.

The guy you are supporting has stated he hopes the Congressman dies and fails, and him trying to save Americans makes him an idiot.

a reply to: Muninn

I am not repeating myself, I am answering to several different people that are clearly not reading the thread and keep coming at me as if I am someone that did not serve.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

And you are putting words in my mouth, I never said I hope the congressman dies, show me where I said I hope he dies and fails. I said he made his choice going into a country where there is no military or support, we all make choices and must live with the consequences of the choices we make. Full stop, that is what I said. But hey you keyboard warriors are holding it down, so we can all feel safer at night knowing you are out there. I am done here I do not need to sit here and defend myself from a bunch of random people on a message board. Good riddance

a reply to: spirit_horse

Senate would have to confirm the new vp, with Harris gone no tiebreaker.

They would need republicans to jump the shark to get pelosi in, don't see it happening.

Seems he might have pulled off a rescue the government couldn't manage to do right:

Even if not, since the article's actually pretty ambiguous -- hence I'm not quoting it, just read it -- then he STILL has bigger balls than Jill (Joe's nards live in her purse) for at least trying at all. Nobody can call this guy a coward.

Queue The Pelosi in...5...4...3

Good news!
Hope he talks to AOC about feeling his life was in danger.
