Americans mourn the dead in Afghanistan, even as the Left wing media move on

[Counselor706]

When judging the nation's character, the media tend to gravitate toward its loudest voices, its most extreme measures, its deepest grudges. The result is a loss of all subtlety and nuance.

In the days and weeks following Aug. 26, when our nation lost 13 service members in a deadly terror attack in Afghanistan, something profound happened across the country that few in the national media have noticed — simple but meaningful tributes to honor those American lives lost.

The media have moved the conversation off the front pages. But what happened and continues to happen in Afghanistan has left a mark on the American psyche. It crosses political ideologies, race, and socioeconomic fronts — a mark the loudest voices have failed to see.

Many in the media mistakenly believe people are now upset about Afghanistan because of politics or because they believed we should have stayed. They think all this will go away because they have stopped covering it. They believe Americans will turn away from the imagery of Afghan women being beaten for demanding their rights or of American citizens trapped, helpless, in what can only be described as a hellish existence.

LMAO - "mourns the dead" - WTF does that mean? - When has the media (any media, not just whatever the fuck you want to target) spent any more time on a subject that doesn't get viewership?

Who is still holding candlelight vigils in America today for anyone? When did they do that for all the other military members killed in the last 20 years for a useless war?

Can you be any more political about such a grave subject?

As far as Americans are concerned, it will. We don't go around worrying about the human-rights abuses that happen daily in NK, etc.

America does have a gift for immortalizing low down yellow bellies, however. They'll be studying Biden's cowardly Afghan moves in war colleges a thousand years from now. The term Bidenlike, Bidenly, Bideness, will become Synonyms for glaringly craven behavior in the future.

One of the 13 dead Marines Joe Biden killed so thoughtlessly was from my area, buried in a National Cemetery here on Thursday. A traffic jam over 40 miles long happened with all who wanted to pay their respects to one of the last men killed for nothing.

And that happened over a week ago. People mourned, as they should, but this bullshit isn't about that....they want it to continue to be about that because it pulls the political heart string and it's about pwning the libs.....because it always is. And nothing cheapens their memory more than this bullshit

In the end..no one has forgotten...regardless of party.

Dead as a direct result of this Alzheimers-addled empty suit's despicable decisions.

Yeah, it isn't like they forgot, is it? despite the wishful thinking of Peck. American are going to remember what Joe Biden did. He'll be more famous than Benedict Arnold.

 

[Rightguide]

Yes, he did that.

That is a lie.

 

[Bud_Spencer]

That is a lie.

It's true. Biden's idiot decisions forced the abandonment of Bagram, where this woud not have happened. Then his precipitous and ill-begotten pullout - timed so he could tout our exit from AFG on the 20th anniversary of 911, provided the chaos at the Kabul Airport.

This is all Joe's, and the blood is on his quivering hands, just as the blood of that innocent family he droned is.

Biden is not responsible for the actions of ISIS.

Biden is not responsible for the actions of ISIS.

Every decision that demented rutabaga took made it easier for ISIS to do its work. Every single one. But Joe had a timetable, and by God, we were gonna follow it, even if we had to leave 5,000 people behind and get dozens killed and maimed.

There's no amount of contempt that is enough to pour over this foul cretin.
