When we look at the severe situation in Afghanistan Unfold And the Biden administration Clumsy The response from our luxurious living room or company office, when people think of the American soldiers and their allies fighting first and then trying to keep the peace and how it keeps the peace for more than 19 years, it’s not difficult to feel angry. Untie In just a few days, the Taliban firmly controlled the country.
However, when you are a veteran of the Afghan War, when you consider not only the sacrifices you made during your service, but also the final sacrifices, what happens on the ground will obviously affect you on a more personal and visceral level. What your brothers and sisters did and how you prayed that these sacrifices were not in vain.
Johnny “Joy” Jones is a retired US Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2010, Jones lost His legs He stepped on an improvised explosive device above his knee in Afghanistan. In addition to losing his legs, explode “Serious injury to his right forearm and wrists.”
Jones is a contributor to Fox News. When he appeared on the network’s “Outnumbered” program today, he naturally had a lot to say about the situation in Afghanistan. I transcribed the first two videos, but be sure to watch all four clips below, because he perfectly understands why the sacrifices made by his colleagues are important and how we need to hold potentially visionary leaders responsible An exit strategy for a country that has not led to the situation we have seen in the past few days:
“First of all, let me say that I lost my legs in Afghanistan, but it is definitely a blessing to go home. I know this every day. I am not against any president or the Taliban or anyone. I am totally calm about this. I am honored. Serving in Afghanistan. I believe that my work there helps people go home safely, which is very important to me. But I want to seize the opportunity, I think we have some pictures to talk about the few that I fought side by side but didn’t go home. A man.
the first is Captain.Daniel Greer From Ashland, Tennessee. He is a full-time firefighter and decided to join the marine reserve and become an engineer. This is not easy, because he believes that as an American, it is his duty to protect our country and avenge 9/11. Daniel was killed by the improvised explosive device that took my leg. He did not go home. We were injured on August 6th and he swallowed one last breath while we were in Germany together on August 8th. And he is a hero. We cannot and must not forget Daniel and thousands of people like him who gave our last breath for keeping us safe for at least 20 years.
The other person I want to respect is Sergeant Floyd Holly. He is a marine EOD technician and my mentor. I think we also have a picture of him. Some things about Freud. I was injured while covering the improvised explosive device where I would have worked, and he was killed two weeks later, so my accident directly led to his death. Freud and I had a conversation before he performed the operation that took his life and my leg. He has an unborn daughter who will not be born until after his death. I asked him, if you want this to be a boy or a girl, he looked at me and said,’I don’t care about the child, as long as it is healthy and happy, I will go there to see its birth.’ That is Freud. This is the last meaningful word he said to me, and it has been haunting me ever since.
I now have a daughter. Every time I see her, I think of Freud and his two daughters. What I can think of is that these people not only sacrificed their lives, but when you sacrifice your own life, you also sacrifice every minute and every day you stay on the earth to have an impact on the lives of other people. Just as angry and frustrated as I am today, I only hope that the American people understand that these people died for you. Let us make the world a better place, and let us choose leaders to be leaders, not just politicians. Although we want to complain, maybe let us look forward to and find the right people to do the right thing, because there hasn’t been too much of this kind of thing for a while. “

In the clip below, Jones discusses how the daily sacrifices made by the U.S. military ensure that Americans can argue about trivial things, such as which pronouns they use compared to countries where certain countries don’t even allow women to choose whether to cover them. Hair when going out:

Jones’ powerful message should be copied to Joe Biden and his defenders in mainstream media Weirdly believe Considering that many people here are war-weary, perhaps the Americans will be willing to give Biden a “passport” to the way the war in Afghanistan ends.
