I don’t mean to be disrespectful but this has got to stop. Neither the Iraq nor Afghanistan Wars were signs of American leadership; they were military imperialism, and if our leaders won’t say so then we need to say so ourselves.

As time marches forward, it's our responsibility to remember, and to teach, and to listen to the stories of our teammates. We can't know what challenges the next 20 years will bring, but we do know this: America will always lead. #WeRemember911

There will always be a contest for political domination on the world stage. Pax Americana has had its terrible chapters, but I'll take it over the 20th century alternatives of Fascism or Communism. We will see what the future brings, but a lot of countries still look to us.

Counterpoint: Actually, they were signs of American leadership

Lloyd Austin along with Antony Blinken failed miserably not advising Biden to better organize the withdrawal. They demonstrated no leadership, hiding behind Biden. Shame on them. Removing the military personnel first before civilians was clear sign of defeated military,

If America leads I wouldn’t recommend following. Unless integrity and possible change for the better mean nothing to you.
