I’ve earned the right to say this, President Trump. I served alongside U.S. and NATO troops. I still advise, at the request of the U.S. DoD, to help give American soldiers a better chance of survival if captured. I was captured, tortured, falsely tried by a Russian proxy court, and sentenced to death after Russia invaded my country. America judged my experience worth listening to. So when I say you are an offensive dick, when you dismiss allied service with “they’ll say they sent some troops,” then smirk and say they were “a little away from the front,” you insult every veteran who stood with America after 9/11. You breed contempt, and that’s the second put-down to veterans in as many days, and to those who fought and died in Afghanistan to support you, the US Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Of the reported 3621 coalition deaths in Afghanistan, 2461 were US personnel, the remainder were coalition countries, including the UK, at 457, and Canada at 159. UK (with Denmark and Estonia) and Canadian forces were the front line in Kandahar and Helmand. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition…

'The Taliban is coming for me.' ⚠️ A warning, the footage is harrowing, but we cannot look away. If our withdrawal was a well thought out and strategic one then it follows that decision makers knowingly condemned her to the fate she so viscerally feels is inevitable.
Afghan girls begging for help from American forces at Kabul Airport How much the fear of #Talibans dominates them, it is felt by their plea for help. #kabulairport #Talibans #Afghanistan #AfghanWomen
