Republicans will scream loud and long about the Afghanistan withdrawal and the Benghazi consulate attack, but are strangely silent when it comes to the Marine Barracks Bombing which was much more significant both in lives lost and it's effect on US policy.
No Republican has EVER denounced Reagan for the deaths of 241 Marines even though he was clearly at fault. They only mention it when they've had to as part of their official duties.
Obviously if these Republicans don't care about the 241 dead marines, they don't really care about four dead in Afghanistan or 13 dead in the Afghanistan withdrawal. And now, after the Signal scandal and the refusal of Trump to fire anybody – including Mike Waltz – it's obvious Republicans don't give a damn about the troops.

Reagan has been condemned for many things. Primarily being credited with the start of destruction of the middle class .

Hezbollah, a terrorist group that controlled much of Lebanon’s south, and which then, as now, was funded by Iran, claimed responsibility for the attack.
