It was truly a horrific blunder that tears at the hearts of all decent people. But true to form, Trump couldn&#8217;t restrain himself from politicizing this tragedy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;How disgraceful that so many people have been killed because of our incompetent Generals. The Biden Administration wanted to show that they were tough guys after they surrendered to the Taliban, which left many soldiers injured or dead and left Americans and the best Military equipment in the World behind. Our Country has never been so embarrassed or humiliated.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that Trump only knows about this because the U.S. military, under President Biden&#8217;s leadership, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/afghanistan-drone-strike-mistake-civilians-killed-pentagon\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">took full responsibility<\/a><\/strong> for what happened. That&#8217;s something Trump has never done. But Trump&#8217;s reaction is repugnant on many levels.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the generals who Trump is insulting as <em>&#8220;incompetent&#8221;<\/em> were also on duty throughout his administration. So wouldn&#8217;t that make him equally as liable? Secondly, it was Trump who negotiated the <em>&#8220;surrender agreement&#8221;<\/em> (in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/19\/us\/politics\/trump-biden-afghan-taliban.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the words of his own National Security advisor<\/a><\/strong>) with the Taliban. Thirdly, the equipment that was left behind was not abandoned. It was intended for use by Afghan troops who, unfortunately, failed to step up.<\/p>\n<p>More to the point, if Trump thinks that the loss of ten civilian lives in this incident is <em>&#8220;disgraceful,&#8221;<\/em> what must he think about the fact that civilian deaths occurred with much greater frequency during his term? In fact, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trump-afghanistan-airstrikes-increased-civilian-deaths-by-330-since-2016-2020-12\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">As reported<\/a><\/strong> at the time, the increase in civilian fatalities was due directly to Trump&#8217;s incompetent decisions:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Civilian deaths skyrocketed in Afghanistan under President Donald Trump, whose administration relaxed the rules of engagement for airstrikes in 2017. [&#8230;] Airstrikes killed 700 civilians in Afghanistan in 2019 alone, more than any other year since the early days of the war in 2002.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump even tried to hide his murderous malfeasance by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-47480207\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">revoking a policy<\/a><\/strong> set by President Obama that required U.S. intelligence officials to publish the number of civilians killed in drone strikes. And as for Trump&#8217;s childish dig about the Biden administration wanting <em>&#8220;to show that they were tough guys,&#8221;<\/em> it was Trump who recklessly dropped <em>&#8220;the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) \u2013 nicknamed the &#8216;Mother of All Bombs&#8217; \u2013 in April 2017 [&#8230;] the first combat deployment of that weapon in any war zone.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s animosity toward the military is well documented, going back to his five phony deferments from service during the Vietnam war. And then there was his disparagement of Sen. John McCain for having been been captured and spending six years as a prisoner of war. More recently, as president <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46562\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump demeaned America&#8217;s fallen soldiers<\/a><\/strong>, referring to them as <em>&#8220;suckers&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;losers.&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s a record of shamelessness for which one could truly say that <em>&#8220;Our Country has never been so embarrassed or humiliated.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
