I get people are for withdrawal, me too, but not many supporting the execution.

Any Democratic Congress members applauding the optics? How about Sec Buttigieg? Anyone else?

If you weren’t there, you didn’t serve STFU!

They fully understood what was happening and knew it would turn out this way.

When ppl panic regardless the threat, especially at this level, it grows exponentially and can’t be easily controlled
