When we lose a member of our Armed Services to the enemy on the battlefield, we mostly understand that it is part of the accepted risk. However, when Soldiers are ambushed and shot just blocks away from the White House in our Nation's capital, it shocks us. And so is the case with 20-year-old US Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, who volunteered to take a Thanksgiving tour of duty to protect the streets of Washington, DC, so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with family. Sarah was shot in the chest and head, and we lost her. US Air Force SSG Andrew Wolfe is fighting for his life.

Both were shot by an Afghan national who was allowed entry into our country, and it appears not properly vetted. And just so we are all on the same sheet of music, "Green on Blue" incidents were commonplace in Afghanistan, meaning Afghan Soldiers firing upon US troops. This shooter, I will never say his name, arrived in our Nation via the worst military debacle in US history, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Oh, and this is not the first time we have had Afghan nationals seeking to harm Americans. Previously, there was one who plotted an attack during our November 2024 elections and another who opened fire on three police officers in Virginia.

Not Our Fault!

But what has been the leftist response to this heinous shooting? Yes, it is someone else's fault. What was known as the Democrat party, now the American Marxist Leftist Party, is the party of no responsibility.

Think about it, why were SPC Beckstrom and SSG Wolfe in DC? They were there because of the high level of violent crime in our Nation's capital, and I mean some disturbing high-visibility crimes. And this is the case in countless Blue cities across America, but when have you heard any of these leftists take responsibility? Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Memphis. Nah,........
