Trump now has more casualties in stupid war than Biden lost in Afghanistan pull out

You know the military event we're told Biden completely mismanaged and would never have happened if Trump had been in charge of it. Biden, obviously, had no choice in many ways as he inherited Afghanistan and its shaky situation, whereas Trump's Iran war was a war of choice.

But I'm sure the media will treat Trump as savagely as Biden was treated, right?

(before calling it off after a Taliban attack in Afghanistan). And pretty much gave them everything they wanted in a secret deal that released 5,000 Taliban fighters, back to Afghanistan.

If I recall there were 10 separate investigations into the Benghazi attack, including six conducted by Republican-led House committees. And Hillary testified for eleven hours during the House Select Committee on Benghazi.
