• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In memorial - We will not forget.

I will pray over these men who died for the US. These soldiers had all of their lives ahead of them, with most of them being in their early to mid-20s.

For context (as three years ago was a long time ago), these 13 men are the soldiers who died at the end of the Afghan war in Kabul, AF during an explosion in August 2021, @Nithavela . I had to do a reverse image search as well, as I did not follow the news that much in 2021:

Ah yes, thank you.

Their senseless deaths certainly are not forgotten. Just like all the other senseless deaths at the end of the Afghan war.

You are welcome, brother. There was way too much death at the end of the Afghan war, and none of this should have happened. Prayers that no country has to go to war anymore. Probably there will be wars until Jesus returns, but prayers for less war.

Marginalize it. That always helps.

I pray for these military members and their families.
I also thank God President Biden had the courage to leave--after the two previous presidents didn't. All three knew it would never be seamless. Only Biden did what was necessary.
Let us remember that civilians were given six months' notice to leave. If they didn’t heed the warning, they must bear some responsibility.
And so, amidst our sorrow, we must remember Biden's courage prevented more deaths from occurring..

Who can forget how Biden honored them?

He "appeared" to look at his watch. Wow! Struggling to.find fault again.
Most people have smart watches now. He might have been checking his heart rate. He might have gotten an "urgent" text (telling his secretary only to interrupt ic it was urgent.) His blood sugar might have been high or low. Who knows?

Even SNOPES doesn't believe that line.

Where was he? Why didn't their Commander in Chief come to lay a wreath?

Oh, look - he is out of town - Roll Call Factba.se - Joe Biden's Public Schedule

Guess what? He is on vacation again - Joe and Jill Biden to return to Rehoboth Beach area this weekend

Shows you how important these 13 who died under his command means to him

Thank God President Trump has not forgotten and stops his whirlwind schedule to honor the military.,

I cant get away from the feeling that theres an election time subtext being spoken here.
I wonder if they'll be remembered much before 2028.

In fact, I can't remember a thread like this from last year...

Well, I only joined here in August 2023, so I do not remember if anyone here made a post about the 2nd anniversary of the end of the Afghan war back then. But yes, society may soon move on from this news by 2028. In 2031, a 10-year memorial may be held, but I am not sure what will happen then.

Yeah there's a hundred other similar events that were ignored here because they couldn't be spun to make a political opponent look bad at the right time.

I do agree there. We can honor the lives of those who passed away, but not have to add politics to it, though, to be honest, Fantine steered the thread into the political realm first, by bringing up politics. As a guy in the center, I am fed up with both sides bickering, when instead, we should all be praying united for the victims of this attack.

Fantine didnt need to bring it up. Just the fact that its this memorial - out of the countless others you and I and the OP person ignore here every year - at this time, speaks loud and clear.
