Hard Starboard Radio: Trump Vows No Vietnam in Afghanistan

Donald Trump’s Monday night speech on the new strategy for the Afghanistan war was very much a turnaround in character for a guy who championed getting out of “failing” wars on the campaign trail; Trump’s speech last night about Afghanistan and South Asia served as a further movement towards realism; Two truths I’ve learned in the last 24 hours: (1) A total eclipse is orders of magnitude beyond a 98% eclipse of the sun, and (2) the presidency changes people, even Donald Trump; Just how did the generals get Trump on board with the Afghan mission?; Veterans of Afghanistan war respond positively to Trump's speech; Trump's Afghanistan strategy hits all the right notes; Trump has decided not to lose the war in Afghanistan; Darth Bannon's ouster is the latest episode in a show about nothing; The Bannon presidency is over; and the alt-reichers are using Antifa against conservatives.
