USSA Lowers Flag at Kabul Embassy: USA 8-14-1945 Compared to USSA 8-15-2021 (published 8-16-2021, updated 6-26-2022)

Publisher's note, 6/26/2022: I improved the sources referenced in the original article and clarified some original wording.

Introduction

This article is brief and sad. I assume that you know about the sorrow and tragedy that occurred yesterday.

I regret writing this article. I must write it.

USA, 8/14/1945

Did you remember that Saturday, 8/14/2021, two days ago, was the 75th anniversary of Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day)? It did not dawn on me until yesterday. I did not see, hear, or read any media coverage that highlighted the anniversary.

On May 8, 1945, Allied forces, including the United States of America (USA), defeated Nazi Germany. On August 14, 1945, the Allies defeated Imperial Japan. “Victory Over Japan Day: End of WWII,” U.S. Department of Defense, is one source that includes much historical information.

August 14, 1945, marked an honorable moment for World War II (WW II) allies, including the USA. The Allied victory over the Axis powers in WW II has inspired me from my childhood until now.

USSA, 8/15/2021

After September 11, 2001 (9/11), the USA declared a “war on terror.” That was twenty years ago. I do not wish to delve into the details of that 20-year, “politically correct” war.

My January 11, 2021, article, “Status of a Once Great Nation,” explains how the United States of America (USA) became the Ununited Socialist States of America (USSA), on January 6, 2021. Readers are welcome to comment and explain why, if they disagree.

Apparently, the USA did not learn from its mistakes during its involvement (1965–1973) in the Vietnam War (1954–1975). Sources: “Vietnam War: 1954–1975,” Encyclopædia Britannica, by Ronald H. Spector, updated 7/6/2021, and “Vietnam War Timeline,” by History.com Editors, original 9/13/2017. A nation cannot fight a politically correct war!

The day after the 75th anniversary of V-J Day, the USSA lowered the American flag at its embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Sources: “US lowers flag at Kabul embassy, secures airport,” Manila Bulletin, by Agence France-Presse, 8/16/2021; “August 15, 2021, Afghanistan-Taliban news,” CNN, by Lauren Said-Moorhouse, Melissa Mahtani, Melissa Macaya, Maureen Chowdhury, Brad Lendon, and Joshua Berlinger, 8/16/2021; and “Afghan President Ghani flees, US Embassy lowers American flag with Taliban takeover nearly complete: US Embassy has been evacuated, American flag lowered,” Fox News, by Ronn Blitzer, 8/15/2021.

Conclusion

As I await supper, the USA's demise into the USSA is depressing. It is sadly ironic that President Biden's administration would select the day after the 75th anniversary of V-J Day to end the 20-year “war on terror.” This once-great nation is very quickly going down even further. Unlike the USA, the USSA has left very little honor, strength, and moral influence.

This article honors soldiers, who served to defeat the Axis powers during World War II. It also honors soldiers, who fought in the “war on terror.” Words cannot fully express the depths of my profound sorrow and regret, caused by the wartime losses of life and limb, and of all the trauma. If you are a soldier, who served during the “war on terror,” you are honored! Do not lower your eyes! You have no shame! The “powers that be” are responsible, not you!

I'll stop. Mrs. Appalachian Irishman has supper ready. The USSA needs to wake up! This once-great nation is fast sinking into oblivion.
