I wrote about the Afghanistan cock-up last year. In the post about that flustercuck, I wrote “We need answers before the next war. Which, of course, may be quite soon thanks to Biden. We can’t have another cockup.” It was about six months later that troops began to be deployed to Poland. No answers. No accountability. Just straight on into a proxy war with Russia. Our troops in Poland are supplying security forces and training the brave Ukrainian war fighters. We are proud of our war fighters. There won’t be a surprise visit from the Commander in Chief for Christmas. There won’t be any carving station manned by Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.

I personally have three favorite soldiers. One of those soldiers is deployed to Syria. Syria? I was not aware that we still had soldiers in Syria. We do. Operation Inherent Resolve, Task Force Sabre. I knew that this family member deployed. …

I really don’t know about the Horn of Africa. I suspect it is still as dangerous AF. It frosts me that our Troops are deployed and unacknowledged at Christmas. As you sit down to enjoy your Christmas dinner, please pray for the safety of our Troops and for our current leadership to develop discernment. That’s a big ask, but Christmas is the perfect time for big asks.
