I looked it up this morning, and unless the POTUS and VPOTUS are dead, Pelosi is not in it, so she should have a great big cup of STFU and quietly offer any intelligent suggestions she might have gathered to the CoC.

Could not have been said better.
I have the unfortunate duty of seeing/protecting these folks when they fly through my TAOR, they're on the ground at our location for less than a day, then fly to a few other places in the AOR to have their pictures taken, often returning here before going back CONUS. I love
how when they come back through they pretend to know exactly what is going on and how to fix all the problems, or in this case how there is no solution so we should just cut and run. The only things they see are the dog and pony shows that are set up for them, and even then they only see what they want too. The only folks they actually hear are those who support their preconceived notions, and all of this is done on our tax dollars. It really is a shame that our politicians do not understand what it is to serve, maybe if more of them had actually worn a uniform they would get it.
It pisses me off to think they might actually convince the public to support pulling out before we've accomplished our mission. I wish they would get a clue and understand that pulling out isn't supporting the troops. It's stepping on the troops who have all sacrificed a great deal to win this war, especially those of our brothers and sisters who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
