Today is the Eclipse of a lifetime and it is beautiful to see on TV and I am sure in person, Each moment of it is a lifetime experience for all, for all involved, the whole 2;30 seconds it does last over you. So I hope all who see it do, so safely with the correct instruments or glasses to protect their vision and eyes.
It is also a day of political numbers dropping for President Donald Trump and the decision he is about to make on Afganistan and our American troops, add or subtract, will eclipse his Presidency too. On one hand the more troops he sends in the worse for wear on the American People. and the soldiers who must follow his orders to go. Sadly, Trump believes as his Generals do, that the more troops in Afganistan we put there will stop more damage in the world. My question is why, do we really care as the American public want to keep sending our sons and daughters to fight for a country that does not give two shits about us? You T\tell me, folks, is it worth a mass load of more body bags coming home to their parents in the near future to try to rescue a country/nation and its people who have no worry or care or want about us or our being there? I think not and I believe as an American Disabled American Veteran who served his country for 16 years, that we have expended enough money and manpower already over there. It is time, in my opinion, to bring our weapons, our military might and our people home and let Afganistan fix their own country and government. We can’t continue to police the world or control its development on our own without assistance from any other country. It is costing America far too much. folks, I hope Trump has the guts to say enough is enough and to pull out of Afganistan and bring our people home alive. I pray that people will understand, America can not continue to carry the cross and bear the weight of what other countries can or can not do on their own, we are not a global police force. We support peace yes, we support democracy yes. we believe in freedom and stopping terrorism, but we are not a one army global peace force or police force. Tell the United Nations to send its troops in and control and fix it we have enough problems of our own. It is time America starts pulling back from these missions to save the world and others start taking over, they should start stepping up right now!
The last thing for today’s blog folks as far as politics. Donald Trump is not presidential material and we all know it by his speeches and actions during the last 8 months. His mouth and actions since being sworn in prove he is incapable and incompetent and narcissist too. It is sad that so many American’s who were in the Electoral College voted him in, above the public’s votes. He is not a President but a bigot and racist and foolish and unable to make decisions that will improve our country. I just hope the Generals who are telling him to put more troops in Afganistan, are smart enough to have a plan to get us out too.
