You’re not failing Murph , you are trying to make sense of things you cannot control. Remember I said let that shit go. If you can’t effect the outcome let it go . So today is not a fail at all . You are recognizing events that are affecting you negatively. That’s a win. Replace the Bs of today with some positive stuff. You won’t find that in the news. How was your day yesterday? How was the weekend with the fam? What’s your diet and training going to be today. Remember we have hundreds of thousand s of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen ready at a moments notice to unleash hell. As bad as our admin is I don’t think we are in danger on a large scale at all. Side note, the military did not lose in Afghanistan. They were tasked with finding/killing Binladen and crushing the talibam. They did that. Our countries policies fucked up the rest .
