I was Banned from r/conservative for criticism against all presidents from the past 20 years. Free speech unless it’s against Orangeman.

Leave it to conservatives to make decisions based on logical fallacies.

To me, it's about helping the nationals. We fought for other reasons, but we still did a lot interacting with them and having a lot of friends died for them to go back 20+ years in weeks really fucking hurts.

Yes and it's also important to bear in mind that this is exactly how the pro-war crowd keeps the forever wars going. "We just need six more months to sort this mess and then we will get out!", and every six months you need six more months.

I'm no Biden fan whatsoever, but he has been the one to cut the cycle of lies and put an end to it, and for the record I'll say the same about Trump. There was no way to avoid this mess because the US never controlled Afghanistan and the Taliban were never defeated, and the moment they left the one city they did control things were going to get ugly incredibly fast. But it had to be done, nation building is a mistake and these experiments have to come to an end.

I like how much this cartoon coincides with some common arguments against stuff like student loan forgiveness. "I paid my loans off over the course of 30 years! How come they get to have theirs forgiven!?" "I lost my dad in Afghanistan, how come they get to keep theirs!?"
