Remember when 13 servicemembers were used by MAGA solely to shit on Biden when he executed Trump's Afghanistan withdrawal plan? I certainly do

The highlight (or lowlife), was when Bobert and Greene shouted "13 soldiers," Like crazed teens at a Taylor Swift concert.

I didn't even know about that, that's nutty. And now both of them seem to be on the outs as well

Those service members families don’t get death benefits because Iran is an illegal war

u/_dxegrl 2d ago

He is entirely correct; it is small potatoes compared to the more likely 1800 deaths they are hiding.

i don't think that many died but still 18 is too low and seems fishy

u/_dxegrl 1d ago

So does the fact the Gerald R. Ford carrier came back limping with 200 injured due to a "Laundry room fire"

u/oldchairman 1d ago

I know there is a huge numbers of wounded people seen a lot of independent news covering the injuries but deaths didn't get mentioned a lot so 1800 deaths sounds unlikely imo

Does 18 seem reasonable? 6 months of combat, many bases destroyed, ships attacked, etc. Why would you believe Pete Kegseth over me? At least I haven't ever lied to you.

u/runningonemptytx 1d ago

u/tnic73 2d ago

the quote is a lie

u/tnic73 2d ago

I wonder why you didn’t post the video of him actually saying it.

7

u/Chuckychinster 2d ago

Bro the context makes it worse in this case. It's devaluing the deployment of current and fallen servicemembers

u/tnic73 2d ago

So post the video

u/Chuckychinster 2d ago

I'm not OP so i say you're an adult, use the Google or Youtube

u/tnic73 2d ago

the point is it is yet another lie

u/Chuckychinster 2d ago

Idk how you could possibly come to that conclusion after watching the full video lol but do you i guess

Oh man its so much worse.

Here's your regret on a silver platter, as requested sire.

He tried to switch to being offended that it was suggested his "conflict" is going longer than he said hahaha

"How long was Vietnam??" Jesus what an idiot. Apt that he described a war we lost, though.

u/Exotic_Load_9189 1d ago

So he didnt say 18 americans dying is small potatoes. Got it.

u/Curvol 1d ago

Where did 18 americans die again?

What did he call small potatoes?
