Biden defferred service 5 times and never ended up serving. Attack Shapiro's positions or even his intelligence if you have to, but don't pretend Biden is or ever was some macho hero.
He must have done something right as his two sons served.

Shapiro is a political hack.

Again, I don't like Ben Shapiro. You twisting sideways and backwards to find valor in Biden's sons serving instead of addressing the cowardice that Shapiro rightly pointed out is representative of everything you purport to hate about how politics is argued on DDF. Pretzels, deflections, Kool Aid, "but officer," .... You got em all.

So when do we start blaming the refuges for the Covid spike? You know it is coming (blaming).
Nah. I’m sure they’re requiring a negative test in order to board.

He didn't hand the country over to them without a fight? He didn't acquiesce to their demand that we leave the country by the end of the month? We are not "still there." We're hunkered down in a corner with our tails between our legs trying to get whoever we can out before the Taliban's deadline. Our soldiers are doing brave and honorable work, but our position is not one to take pride in.

For someone who disliked Trump as much as you did, you've got his name-calling thing down pretty tight. You have an issue with Shapiro, keep the cute nicknames out of it and take apart his opinions and blustery prose on their merits (or lack thereof).

Biden said we would be out by 8/31 not the Taliban. It was Biden who moved the deadline to 8/31 and the Taliban had no say in the matter. You should get your facts right.

The Afghan army turned the country over, not Biden but what do facts matter!  ::)

Quote
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, told reporters Monday after a briefing on Afghanistan it is "very unlikely" the evacuation can be completed in the next week, given the number of Americans and Afghans who still need to leave.

Strong leadership would have said, "We will be there as long as it takes to ensure we get every person out safely." Biden said, "We'll be out by Aug 31." He gets the same briefings Schiff gets. He's just not willing to challenge the Taliban's demand that all foreign forces be out by the original self-imposed and unattainable deadline of the 31st.

The Afghan army turned the country over, not Biden but what do facts matter!  ::)

The Afghan army didn't have a choice. Biden took his planes and went home.

You know what the best part of this argument is? I don't agree with Shapiro that Biden is a coward. Personally, I don't think Biden has been calling any of the shots since (before) the election. I just took issue with your nonsensical broadside about fighting in a war, so I responded. Moving on...

That guy is not 100 percent. What's the point of quoting him? Israelis are in Israel and he is a British "journalist". Arafat told him some idiocy in '95, Arafat is gone. The journalist is gone (from Israel). and if I remember correctly it was Arafat who had to dress up in women's clothing to escape Beirut.

A former CIA officer organized a rescue of 500 Afghan interpreters and other special visa holders.

They made it to the airport.

*Then they were kicked out by the State Dept.*

The Taliban has appointed a former Guantanamo detainee as acting defense minister following the Islamic fundamentalist group’s takeover of Afghanistan, according to a new report.

Mullah Abdul Qayyum Zakir has been chosen to assume the role, the Qatari-based Al Jazeera news channel reported on Tuesday, citing a source in the Islamist movement.

Zakir, also known as Abdullah Gulam Rasoul, was captured by US forces after 9/11 and incarcerated at the detention center in Cuba. He was transferred back to Afghanistan in 2007 and shortly afterward released.
