I have a friend who was a Marine, went to Afghanistan. He was a Republican also. When he saw us just…pull the fuck out, leaving equipment and stuff there…it broke his heart. He said that it was as if he and his fellow Marines fought and died for nothing. And now he doesn’t believe in EITHER political party; says that they (politicians) are all out for self-gain, and have no interest in actually helping people. I’m a leftist, and he and I used to have these really fun, spirited debates, but I knew he truly believed in what he said. The Trump presidency, Jan 6, and this just broke him.
