Congratulations, Cadet Donald J, Trump. You missed the original Saigon, so Welcome to Your Own Saigon, Saigon, Syria.
You must have really missed it. You never had the actual honor of serving your country in war, you never had the actual honor of risking arrest in publicly opposing a war, back then, you hid out partying in exclusive night clubs, and now you hide out partying in your own exclusive golf clubs.
The Kurds are learning the lesson of the South Vietnamese Army. The US will leave its allies, securing the safety of its own troops, loading US soldiers and US personal in helicopters and trucks, to wave goodbye while abandoning our allies and friends to the coming retribution. I opposed the War in Vietnam, I opposed that War you never cared enough about except to compare a life and death struggle to your own personal pain of a penicillin shot in your soft white ass. I also believe our presence in Syria requires a Congressional declaration of War, but this is no way to withdraw.
Trump never fought in Vietnam. he never publicly opposed it. His rich dad had a Doctor/tenant write an excuse for Donald, a lie about debilitating bone spurs to avoid service. Trump now says, 50 years later, that he didn’t support that war. But he happily accepted a Purple Heart from a veteran, saying “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart.” Probably because he thought he deserved it as he bragged that “his Vietnam” was avoiding sexual transmitted diseases from all the “pussy” he was getting at the Manhattan night clubs while Americans risked death or arrest about that war.
But Congratulations, Cadet Trump, what you have done to the Kurds exhibits your continued lack of understanding of the price of war when paid only as “collateral damage” by other people, by our allies, the Kurdish women and men who fought the fundamentalist religious Caliphate ISIS to a standstill on our behalf.
I have just one question for President Trump:
What did you get from Erdogan to betray the Kurds, what did you, personally, receive in exchange for your own proud Trump Saigon?
