Civility and respect are often thrown to the wind when discussing or debating a topic, depending on how severe the issue is.
It’s sometimes justified and other times not. In the case where the Afghan debacle three years ago was a disaster, and the media’s outrage at an alleged incident that occurred during Donald Trump’s Monday visit to Arlington National Cemetary alongside families of those who lost their lives in the Abbey Gate Bombing, it is justified.
We reported earlier that the media is now in full “get Trump” mode after the GOP’s presidential nominee paid homage to the 13 U.S. military personnel who died during the Biden and Harris administration’s botched withdrawal of August 2021, with the loved ones of those fallen, smiling, and posing for pictures.
The press is trying to make it a scandal, in part because of an alleged incident between two Trump staffers and a cemetery employee after they were asked to “not film or photograph where U.S. recent casualties are buried.”
The Trump campaign has rebutted the anonymous source’s claims. However, in remarks at a campaign rally in Erie Pennsylvania, Trump’s Vice Presidential nominee, Sen. JDVance (ROH), did not hesitate when asked about Arlington. He stated that the real scandals were Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s running mate, who made false claims about Tim’s military record, and that the Biden and Harris administrations had held no one responsible for the deaths of men and women serving in uniform on that day.
Vance stated, “Three years ago, thirteen brave and innocent Americans died. They died because Kamala Harris would not do her job. There has been no investigation or firing of any kind.” “Mistakes happen — it’s the nature and nature of government. It is disgraceful that 13 Americans lost their lives, but not a single employee was fired. Kamala Harris was disgraceful.”
Vance stated that, if they were to discuss an Abbey Gate story, it would be that Kamala Harris was so asleep that she wouldn’t do a proper investigation and that she wanted to yell at Donald Trump for showing up. She can go to hell.

NBC News, as usual, is one of the media outlets that are focusing on Vance’s “harsh” rhetoric towards Harris. The headline reads: “Vance blasts Harris for Afghanistan withdrawal with harshest rhetoric yet.”
Oh, boohoo.
As I mentioned earlier, civility and respect are no longer acceptable when it comes to certain topics. The Afghan withdrawal and the deaths that resulted from this is one such topic. It is a shame that, three years after the decision, there was no accountability. To make matters worse, Kamala Harris, who was the “last in the room”, believes she can be the Commander in Chief.
This issue should be enough to convince voters not to support her bid for the presidency in November. That would be the worst punishment that she and the Biden/Harris administration can receive.
