"As one of the Veterans who landed on that very soil in 2001 it's a hard pill to swallow Mr. President, these kids didn't have to die. The mission will always come first, but we must do better. Paratroopers are trained to adapt and overcome, the previous administration set up a bad situation...but we didn't adapt we didn't prepare and the ultimate price has been paid. Word of heroism fall short of decisive and appropriate action that could have saved lives. I am not against you, but I can not in good faith look to my left and right, seeing my brothers and sisters who have struggled with PTSD fall victim to triggers brought on by the decisions of the recent weeks and now we have seen the worst-case emerge. You will probably not read this, but where else can someone vent who just watched a significant portion of my life be erased then to see that more soldiers had to die.
