Similar to when Biden said no Americans died in Afghanistan on his watch, it simply isn't true.  Trump forgot about fallen service members.  There was no 18 month period during his term where no Americans died in Afghanistan.

There was a 17 month period where no Americans died, but Biden was President for 7 of those months.

Then he should be called out and asked to clarify his statement.  It is Trump after all and even his supporters acknowledge how inarticulate he can be.b

I am however interested, has Reuters ever gone back 2 years to question Biden or Harris?  Should they?  Or are you only concerned when using Reuters own words, “Trump forgot” yet the Biden/Harris administration has done nothing but avoid any discussion of the Afghanistan failed pullout?  Let me check my watch on that one.

He made the statement for the first time in 2022.  Reuters called him out in 2022.  He repeated the same thing last week during his ANC trip.
The MSM is not pounding it because they have a bunch of other stories they can pound that make Trump look like a piece of [BLEEP] and also their audience is tired of it.
But this is the truth.
Your boy has been shouting as loud as possible that only he cares about fallen soldiers families. However, he only started shouting that because Biden flubbed and forgot about some of them.  Biden forgetting is bad, but your boy did the exact. same. thing.
I'd forgive him for forgetting.
But I'd forgive Biden and Harris too.
Because treating this whole forgetting thing as some unforgivable sin risks turning gold star families into political celebrities they were never meant to be.
I find no basis for forgiving one but not the other.

L2L I very much still respect because unlike you he never said people without military experience need to shut up, nor did he ever present his history of service as a tool to win political arguments.

Explain yourselves.

Dude, chill.  Not all of us live here 24/7.  

As for your statement about you not being able to discuss military issues, not one of has said you cannot comment on the subject.  It is HOW you respond to the subject of military matters that we object to.  You come across as though you are an expert on the military experience when you were never there.

Selective reasoning can refer to a few different concepts, including the selective laziness of reasoning and selective perception:


Selective laziness of reasoning
This is the tendency to be more critical of other people's arguments than of one's own. In one study, participants were presented with their own arguments as if they were someone else's, and more than half rejected their own arguments.

Selective perception
This is the tendency to filter out stimuli that contradict personal beliefs or cause emotional discomfort. For example, while driving, someone might filter out visual stimuli to focus on reaching an exit, which can cause them to miss other things happening around them

I respond to military subjects the same way I respond to any other.  With facts that anyone can acquire from a lifetime of reading the news.  That's it.  I just have facts. Not all of the facts.  Sometimes not the most important facts.  But facts.  I never claimed to know it all, but I know what I know.  I would like to be constructively corrected and learn some of the things that the news won't tell me.  Some more important facts that people like you might have learned by experience or just by reading different things.  But that's not what you offer.  You offer the back of your hand only.
