Afghanistan

Bacon (R-NE-2) 01/22/2023: In reply to Tweet@RepDonBacon @JimHarroldOmaha At some point there was going to be no boots on the ground. We heard this air and logistics theatrics in Vietnam. The fact remains the influence leaves along with the physical presence. I'm starting to think having a Don Bacon like brain is the reason any war is lost. – “@johnvkelley @JimHarroldOmaha We had 3500 troops in Afghanistan conducting air support & logistics planning. No U.S. fatalities in 18 months prior to botched withdrawal. The C/JCS advised POTUS against withdrawal, & Biden overruled. This was one of worst NATSEC disasters in our history. And…RIP to 13 vets.”
