I'm a vet. Im a Socialist, and I'm not the only one. LMFAO these Right-wing cucks really think all vets are stupid or still brainwashed. Not true my man, not in any way true. In fact if I had to guess, among vets with political opinions and who go out to vote, I would guess the right vs. left split is probably around 50-50. Oh yeah I do. Especially as we get older and gain more knowledge of the world and start seeing things in much bigger context and grow up and out of all past and previous rah-rah "'Murikka!!" war-drum-beating propaganda.
By the same token I do think Biden and Trump both screwed up royally, whether intentionally or not, and I personally want them to both pay a heavy price for it. I mean, maybe it was inevitable the Talibs were gonna take back over eventually, but we didn't have to HELP them, which Trump did on a platter; on a PLATTER. And then I've never seen such DEPLORABLE botching of what should and could have been a very orderly and staggered evacuation process by that lying, good -for-nothing, Mass Incarcerating, Backtracking and proud, Strom Thurmond-loving, Labor-hating, Anita Hill-attacking, corporate-ballsack-slobbering, elitist ASF, good-for-nothing JOE. I wanna see him impeached over it. I know, that sounds extreme to some but it's not like the GOP would take over, Kamala would. Which is no different to me. She's a cold-blooded and cunning self-serving operator, I'm sure she'll do just fine.
I pretty much have equal opportunity hate for almost everyone in mainstream politics today bec by my standards they're ALL awful and terrible and after a while all the cunning, or corruption, or apathy, or sociopathy, or grifting, or willful incompetence, or dereliction of responsibility or duty, or middle-finger-giving just starts to be WAY too much ongoing bullshit to have to deal with to try to sift thru for that ONE small faint hopeful ray of positive public policy.

@alexscott6095 I get where you're coming from but don't blame the Afghans. As youre about to see that's not really fair and it's a convenient cop-out, and I think it's really cheap and dishonorable that Biden blamed them entirely in his addresses, making them a convenient scapegoat, which thus removes any possibility of blame from himself over his choices re: Afganistan since he took office.
Regarding the Afghan security forces, I had heard they were significantly under-equipped and some, I don't know how many, or where, were half-starving Bec they had food supply problems. Then Trump orders 10 AIRBASES closed during 2020 and most US personnel to leave, while bumping up the Taliban forces by 5000 and their recently-released from jail supposedly top commander. I'm sure the Afghans did what they could but of they were outnumbered, or weren't properly equipped. Also they had been replying on US assistance thru air support but while the Talibs advanced, we had already left and stopped helping.
Yeah maybe some just decided it wasn't worth it and quit, I'm sure that happened; but I'm also sure others tried to stay and fight but logistically based on all this info they were at a significant disadvantage to the Taliban at this point from all my reports. Also I heard all that extra equipment was left at US airbases by US personnel, not turned over to the Afghans. I did hear some of it was in damaged or inoperable conditions but I don't know how much was usable vs. unusable.
This was BOTH Biden and Trump's fault. Biden is a POS by my Socialist justice standards but if you want to be a simple liberal and love him Bec you don't know any better, that's fine. That's certainly your prerogative.

First of all, I think what so many people fail to grasp, is that most drug users are NOT ADDICTED, it's a myth that every user is an ABuser (of drugs); that's just not the case,
but I'll grant some are. And it is true some will commit self-destructive acts in order to feed their addiction, which can cause problems depending on what they are, and that does need to be dealt with if or when that happens, but that DOESN'T mean that its not in ALL of our interest to make drug treatment programs available for all those who want them, and also to ensure that these programs are fairly run and don't insist on total perfection in order to stay in the program. (This last part is important bec I've seen very good people try their best to comply perfectly with all rules of a given program but they are human and they slip up and give in to temptation by using and than once that happens they are often kicked out, losing all the progress they just made. I think that's counterproductive and unfair).
Also, it's very unfair and unkind to assume any drug user will automatically cannibalize a residence in order to support their habit. I'm not saying this has never happened, but it's certainly shouldn't be used as an excuse not to provide all possible supportive services including housing to these people. I mean that's just common sense AND compassionate. You can't just write off a whole class of people because you want to ignorantly maintain a belief and moral judgement about them. Everybody deserves a chance to get help with their substance use problem; and even if they blow it or make a mistake, that just means they're human. They should be held accountable, but after that, they should be given another opportunity to move forward.
Whether it takes one try or 10 tries, if a person is ready to try to improve their situation, regardless of what it is, they deserve help to do so. None of us are perfect. Any single ONE of us could easily be in that persons shoes we look down on if just one thing had been different in our lives, and that's no bull.
