minus-squareHellsfire29@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down5·1 day agoI don’t like our president any more than his predecessor. Nor the replacement. Our government failed us. I served under Bush Jr, and then he extended our tour. So I’ve been mad at him ever since, along with his other decisions. Did I come out leftist? I went in right leaning and came out more centrist. To be honest. Glad your friend came back alive. Afghanistan sucked.
