I get so sick and tired of people pointing to what happened in the past as if it's relevant to what is going on right now. I don't care what Trump, Bush, Clinton, Carter, Obama, Nixon, or anyone else did. I care about what this administration is doing right now. If it was Trump and his administration in office making these boneheaded mistakes I would be just as angry.

I'm angry too.  That's fine.  Impeachment is about a lot more than being angry though.  Let's not take our anger too far.

I want people to be held accountable. Whatever that looks like I want it done. I want justice for our dead Marines and the Afghans this administration failed to protect. 

The people of this country should demand and expect that those who made the decisions leading to this entire tragedy in Afghanistan are held responsible and punished accordingly. The people shouldn't care what that looks like. People demand Cuomo be punished for his bad judgment with women but not this administration for the murder of Marines and civilians?

The problem is no one has any "skin in this game" as the saying goes. Most people in this country have no clue what sacrifice is anymore. They have no clue who this government has sacrificed in the last 20 years so they don't have to live in fear of another 9/11, or worse.  Marriages sacrificed. Children without both parents. Families missing loved ones. Don't tell me to not take my anger too far. You have no idea what I sacrificed for the global war on terror.
