    Trump depicted the Afghanistan and Iraq wars as examples of America’s great military might, which is insane and emblematic of what was really objectionable about yesterday’s spectacle: not the specter of “martial law,” but misplaced triumphalism in the face of failure and decline

        Afganistan's stealth bombers were no match for America's stealth bombers.

        Tulsi Gabbard said Trump made it all about himself. She was clearly wrong.

        Again....any failure in Afghaniatan and Iraq has nothing to do with imagined American "military decline."

        The prob w Nam, Afghn, Gulf Wars were that no one can nail dwn an end game. Ww1/ww2 surr of axis/ cent powers; Korea maintain a non communist presence in peninsula; Desert Storm remove Saddam from Kuwait. Its hard to say our troops failed when they could only win pyrrhic battles.

        We do have great military might but most of it is unusable in the wars we've chosen to fight the last 60 years.

        They are examples of our military might. The failures came from the politicians trying to nation-build.

        Trump ran against both Iraq and Afghanistan wars. I knew he’d turn out to be lying.

        Have you ever heard of Fredericksburg? The union soldier fought with valor & bravery, that is not taken away by the incompetence of the general who lead them. Trump didn't get us into those wars, & has the right to honor men (volunteers btw) who go at the behest of the elected

        At least he is funny he can’t even get it right when he is told what say. The creepy thing is that he got the nomination over Rand Paul. People saw this buffoon in the primaries and thought that he would make a good president. At Hillary was forced on Democrats

        To be fair occupying Afghanistan is why we were able to kill osama bin laden. Every American made a vow we would not rest until we brought him to justice and many signed up just to fight him. To some extent mission accomplished in Afghanistan.

        Option #3: it was bad because it's immoral to celebrate killing, death, and the tools we use to bring them about even granting for the sake of argument that (1) we use those tools only in very rare, and morally justifiable cases of self-defense, and (2) those uses are successful.
