In his remarks in Columbia, South Carolina, on Saturday, former President Trump slammed the "woke military."

We have a woke military that can't fight or win, as proven in Afghanistan, the way they were taken out with such disgrace. The people in the military are so great, but the leadership at the top is just a disgrace. That should have never ever happened, and we had it way down in Afghanistan.

Everyone up here knows about it, and we were doing great; they respected us. Abdul, the head of the Taliban, is killing a lot of our people; he was killing them, shooting them in the Obama Administration.

Trump said of Abdul, "I criticized, I said Abdul don't do it, Abdul yes, your Excellency, I understand."I said if you do it we are going to hit you harder than anybody has ever been hit in the history of our country, and that's very hard because we do have a great military.

A lot of people don't even realize it because of the way we run it, but we have great people. We have great generals, not the television generals; no soldiers were killed or shot.

During that time, Biden even delivered a speech in which he stated, "Well, say what you want for 18 months; nobody was killed, not one soldier, not one injured, not one shot at in Afghanistan."

And then they start screaming at him. Don't say that you're not supposed to say that, because that's good for the Republicans. But that's true we didn't lose one soldier in 18 months.

We didn't have one soldier shot at in 18 months, and then they had the catastrophe of that horrible pullout the way they did.

It was so embarrassing to her that I believe it was the lowest day in the history of our country. I really believe that, and I think that's one of the things that started with Russia.

Russia looked at that, saw that incompetence, and said, "Wow, this is a great time to go in." We should have a military that's conceived in fighting and winning, not conceived in woke and that's what we want: a military that wants to win.
