One of my Army buddies was a Blackhawk mechanic when he was in the Army.
He left the Army and then started working as a private contractor in Afghanistan and Iraq fixing Blackhawks.

There are tons of people like him in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a statement released on Tuesday night, the US President claimed: 'Every day we're on the ground is another day we know that ISIS-K is seeking to target the airport and attack both US and allied forces and innocent civilians.'"

The who admin needs to be removed via Article 2 Section 4, for treason.
If we had a leader with a backbone, he would have threatened to blow them all to kingdom come if anyone was detained any further or any of our civilians were hurt. And he would get our people out of there. But we don't have a leader with a backbone and many of us think this was intentionally mismanaged.

You just know Isis-K is heading their way, so it will be a war between the different factions, I'm guessing, particularly since they think the Taliban is too liberal.

Fox News: Afghanistan

CNN: Afghanistan

MSNBC: January 6 Insurrection

Not even kidding.

I now know for certain what news station the handful of pro-Biden posters watch.
