Let's put this in proper prospective.

While I am sadden if there were any innocent person deaths.

The USA DOD & _ _ _ under Trump's direction took down a Social-Communist aligned Dictator.

A Social-Communist aligned Dictator funneling $$$$ to certain DC Swamper's via backdoor routes.

A China / Russia installed, controlled and supported patsy, directly responsible for the addiction and deaths of 10's of 1,000's here in the USA.

A Social-Communist Dictator that facilitated the human trafficking of adults, and yes even children for forced labor and sexual uses.

A Pasty Dictator that assisted Narc o-Gangs and terrorists to gain access to the USA and harm OUR people.

A pasty dictator that is associated with supporting the political illegal voting mission in the USA.

the USA in this limited scope mission, actually ACCOMPLISHED it's mission in HOURS and NOT at the usual "MAYBE" in Years.

YES!!!!!
Accomplished WITHOUT Years, 1'000's of lives and at the cost of $$$ Billions wasted just to pull out. Like Nam, Lebanon, Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan, after losing and wasting US Lives.

Name me 1 US president of Nation's leader that has accomplished this feat in the last 100 years

So the 100 "claimed" lives vs. what it would have been.
TRUMP's laser focused action in taking down this installed P.O.S. actually saved likely 10's of 1,000's.

So shut the Hell up Liberals, Socialist and Democrats.

2 Hegseth vs Austin. The latter reach the rank of major which means he had achieved a high level of BS detection. Austin was DEI general and thus a member of the BS cabal. As SecWar, each has surrounded themselves with more like minded people. Thus the difference between the Afghan withdraw and what we've seen so far, bombing of Afghanistan and Caracas, would imply that change.

3 This is allegedly an account by a Venezuelan solider of how the raid went down: here.

Which I offer for comment by 'Burgers who know which end of the gun the thingy comes out of.

4 Free from political interference, as well as training for over month for this operation, I'm not surprised at how well it went.

As for the number killed, I take Venezuelan reports with enough salt negatively affect my health. How may actual deaths were from random and panicked "friendly fire" from Cuban and Venezuelan troops and police?
