Republicans Champion Afghan Sacrifice, Then Silence
Funny how the 'party of freedom' struggles with actual consequences. These are the same politicians who championed the Afghan War for two decades, often citing the bravery of local allies. Funny, too, how that same bravery is forgotten when it's politically inconvenient. One might wonder if their fervor for 'supporting the troops' extended only to the photo ops, not the civilians left fighting for
their lives after America packed its bags. This isn't just about Trump's policies, it's about legislative amnesia. The same lawmakers who approved billions in military aid without a peep now suddenly find humanitarian visas a 'burden.' How many times have we seen Washington laud 'partners' until those partners become refugees? It’s almost as if the only loyalty demanded is absolute, and one-sided.
