The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

There were 44 soldiers that were killed in action during the Trump presidency,

In the time frame of four years mind you..during Trump’s presidency.

2,500 Americans Have Died in Afghanistan and Iraq Under President Obama and Vice President Biden.

Don’t forget Biden flat out lied no soldier has died under his watch.

“Mr Biden said no service members had been killed under his watch, but 13 died during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

“THE FACTS ABOUT BIDEN’S FAILED WITHDRAWAL:
On July 8th, 2021, Joe Biden said: “There’s going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan.”
In fact, it was actually much worse. We saw videos of Afghans clinging to the outside of planes during takeoff, with many falling to their deaths.
Afghans who were turned away threw themselves on razor wire surrounding the airport rather than face torture at the hands of the Taliban, according to firsthand testimony.
More than 800 Americans were abandoned behind enemy lines in Afghanistan for months.
The administration admitted initially that they did not know how many Americans remained in Afghanistan.
President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan led to OVER $7 BILLION in U.S. military equipment is now in the hands of the Taliban.“
