Your pain over what happened to our allies in Afghanistan is excruciating. I am so sorry for all the pain you have, many of us have. What happened in August 2021, shattered my already broken heart further and I appreciate your passion and heart for us Gold Star parents whose children loved this country and believed in this country enough to die for it. I appreciate your understanding that the way we deserted and abandoned Afghanistan deepened our pain. I don’t know that after over three years, holding anyone accountable now will ease that pain. I don’t know what could possibly make a difference for so many shattered hearts now.
However, I do know that there is a God who does know. A God who understands the pain of betrayal and who has the capacity to heal shattered hearts like mine and yours.
Will, I doubt that Hegseth fired Brown to make him accountable for the U.S. abandoning Afghanistan. It seems more like getting "yes men" in place so that when an order comes down from The Felon in Chief that it will be followed whether or not it is Constitutional. He was the one who made the lousy deal, after all. Do you think he cares anything about what is happening to the folks in Afghanistan? Will he let Afghanis who were able to move here, stay? Unlike you, he has no heart and soul.
Are you concerned about his cozying up to Russia? He and his minions insulting our (former)allies? I am. My grandparents emigrated from Lithuania; my maternal grandmother's family farm was taken by the Russians and her sister sent to Siberia. I still have cousins in Lithuania who are very worried about what Putin will do next. So, yes, I am horrified that The Felon is abandoning Ukraine. And that they will not become part of NATO. So I guess I am one of those obnoxious people: Ukraine Ukraine Ukraine NATO NATO NATO. ;-)
You have every right to be furious about how the US abandoned Afghanistan. And I am glad you are reminding people about what happened and is happening today. I thank you for your work and I wish I could alleviate some of your pain. I am ashamed of what was done.
So please understand that I am furious about what is happening to Ukraine and what is happening to our country today. That doesn't mean that I have forgotten our friends in Afghanistan.
Excellent questions. I will try and respond. Yes, I share many of your concerns with the replacements. Yes, yes, yes. But--again--Trump's trademark is "You're Fired," so, in an essence, none of this is really going to cause widespread concern. Maybe I'm wrong.
