He did what Trump wanted. Trump is a murderer. He, Hegseth, & any officers who ordered these murderers should be tried. I do not understand how the GOP can support this mess.

Don't gloss over the monster who is responsible for Hegseth's position and the deaths of hundreds of thousands we no longer support overseas or the credulous people dying because they believe vaccines are dangerous.

It seems like the "I don't know" percentage has diminished significantly? Or is that wishful thinking?

As a college student I overheard an older relative, the child of an immigrant, disparage people of a different ethnicity. This person was brilliant, well-educated & had lived in the Middle East & Europe. I still can’t understand.

1: Approximately 190,000 Afghan refugees entered the U.S. when we left. That's .056% of our population. Not mass migration. 2: This is precisely what was said by racists about my ancestors and Miller's.

Note, the chaotic exit from Afghanistan was
caused by poor planning during the 1st Trump administration. In our tradition of continuity, Biden didn't renege on the agreement made by his predecessor. It would have been even worse if it had been as quick as originally scheduled. tinyurl.com/sndzc7bh
The chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan in 2021 had stems from four administrations
Former President Trump blames the Biden-Harris White House for the collapse of Afghanistan and the chaotic U.S. withdrawal in 2021. But the fault lines lie with successive American administrations.

My former Navy officer says that Hegseth's assertion that any order is presumed to be legal didn't work for the Nuremberg defendants.
