Everyone - Especially Congress - Needs to pause - Take a deep breath - and ponder what just happened

9. I may be wrong but,

What's going on over there is a low point for the US military; a devastating defeat that will be burned into the hearts and minds of millions of current and former military personnel.
It will cost Trump a whole lot of votes, perhaps a million or more.
What I particularly find galling is Trump's dismissal of the Kurds with the phrase,"they're not angels".
No, they're not angels. What they are is living, breathing, physical people who fought valiantly along side, and often in front of our troops. And now they are being slaughtered because our leader doesn't give a shit about anybody other than himself.

We made a commitment to them to help them defend their land, and Trump didn't just break it, he buried it under the blood and bones of the Kurds who are dying because of his actions.
