My dad was killed in Afghanistan in 2010. So yes, watching the news right now is devastating. I’m angry, frustrated. But mostly enraged that it came to this for this war to simply make a headline, let alone lead a newscast, for the other 99% of the country to care.
Seeing a lot of big opinions and blame on the Biden admin for this disastrous withdrawal too. That's lazy. Yes, there are a lot of issues with how this has all unfolded, but we’ve been at war for two decades. That's four administrations.
