Pray for peace. Prepare for war.

The United States did not withdraw from Afghanistan. We RETREATED. Make no mistake, withdraw was necessary. But the way it was done dishonors those who spilled their blood in a remote corner of the world.

My heart goes out to all who left part of themselves in Afghanistan. My thoughts are with the wives and children of warfighters who never came back. Their eyes glued to the television as they watch the Taliban gloating over America’s abandonment of sensitive military equipment.

My heart goes out to Gold Star families. I can’t imagine how they must feel, watching the President of the United States claiming that the “drawdown is proceeding in a safe and orderly way.” Biden is not fit to speak to them.

My heart especially goes out to all veterans of the WOT. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten. The sacrifices of your families will never be forgotten. May God bless you all.
