Don’t compare our fighting men to the woke generals who never saw battle at the pentagon, it’s the commander in chief and Milleys fault, not our fighting men.

I do agree with you about the British military. I say the same for our soldiers who bled and died and now I’m sure, feel betrayed by our incompetent brainless president.

Anyone with a brain, watching TV, saw that the Taliban were slowly and surely taking over the entire country. Biden even evacuated Bagram air base back in July. They knew full well that the Taliban surrounding Kabul was not only a possibility, but a certainty. And yet they had no contingency plan to deal with it. Geez, talk about refusing to learn from history, Miley and all those fools need to be fired, or forced to resign.
Oh good you worked in Benghazi. LOL

How do you expect to be taken seriously. The US is evacuating a few thousand a day according to reliable news sources not named Gateway Pundit.

I'm going to let you right up the next contingency plan based on when the government or military completely dissolves.

Thirteen U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo jets removed some 2,000 people from Taliban-controlled Kabul during the past day, Pentagon officials said Thursday, acknowledging issues at the city’s airport hindered efforts to boost the number of evacuees.

Since Saturday, some 7,000 people had been evacuated on U.S. military flights out of Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport, the last Afghan ground in American hands, said Army Maj. Gen. Hank Taylor, the Joint Staff’s deputy director for regional operations. He and other Pentagon officials have said for several days that the United States has aimed to evacuate 5,000 to 9,000 people per day on more than 24 military flights.

Another true fighting man heard from, yet another military expert.

I suggest you go to Ft. Bragg and tell the Airborne Rangers they are woke. LOL

Out of those 2,000 airlifted out of Afghanistan…… 300 were U.S Citizens.

Massive US cargo planes are taking off with just 100 passengers from Kabul - despite ability to carry 600 - as Taliban close off airport making entry impossible for Afghans - amid fears thousands of westerners will end up HOSTAGES
Overnight, the US only put 2,000 people on 18 C-17 planes - an average of 110 per flight. This despite a single C-17 being used on Sunday to fly out 640 Afghans because the crew refused to leave them behind
Just a fraction of that number have made it onto the most recent flights, despite US pledge of 9,000 per day
In one shocking case, a German plane with room for 150 departed Kabul on Tuesday with just seven on board
Meanwhile, the UK has managed to rescue around 1,000 people out of a total of 7,000 the MoD accounted for
Comes as Taliban controlling the airport entrances are barring ex-pats and would-be migrants causing chaos
Around 50,000 people are said to be outside the gates, with Westerners unable to get through the crush
Western nations vowed to take more than 100,000 Afghan refugees


Things are not going well.

Given the Bidenette mindset any source unfavorable to this administrations actions (or lack thereof)has no credibility. Such media support is dwindling at a rapid pace even with die hard outlets like CNN cannot ignore the steady steam of information showing a different reality on the ground over there than what Biden would have us believe. In all honesty do you actually believe the attempts to cast Biden and his staff including military staff in a positive light? You know I would think the depth of the hatred the Taliban and every other Islamawacko terrorist group has for Americans and any who support and ally with us. Given that any belief the Taliban has plans to let an evacuation proceed unmolested is pure fantasy.

Yeah those vicious sumbucks spent 20 years hiding in barren mountains getting sexually aroused at the thought of a sea of Americans at their mercy and they're going to show mercy? Seriously? Well I do admire your optimism that Biden is going to lead our people to safety in the face of odds nobody with a brain would place bets on. Though if it did happen the payout would be more than huge. A dollar bet would lay out an amount that would buy a private island with a mansion and pay fo a personal navy to defend it with.

No, so sorry, that's a whimsical daydream that sees Americans being allowed to just load up and depart with a loving wave goodbye. Want to get a good image of what it's really going to be just look at the pictures of a soccer stadium with heads hands feet etc piled up on the dirt that used to be grass and bodies piled like garbage. Heads on pikes planted at entrances and exits and lining the streets with crows pecking away at them. People murdered, men women children, for such grievous offenses to the Prophet of reading anything but the Koran, women and girl children eading at all, not wearing a burkha . This was and will be again Afghanistan under the Taliban Doing this to Americans is the only pastime better.

American women on the ground there are facing a fate of being brutally raped and then and beaten to death for the offense to the Prophet of being raped. This is also the mindset of all other Islamic terror groups. That culture is the only one that has evolved backward rather than forward. The only advances they care about are in weapons tech they can use to kill all infidels but especially Americans. I have gone on record as very careful and selective in my use of the word hate. But in the case of Taliban and all other Islamic terroists who hate me for being American... I HATE them back. It works for me.

Yep this point seems to have sailed right over most peoples heads.

The only reason the Brits and French are able to go get people is that we are securing the airport by force if necessary along with negotiations with leaders in the Taliban.

It is entertaining however watching CD warriors who think they can direct military operations from behind their computer screens.

I had to reread this post twice, it was so unbelievable. It is still unbelievable. You say you are totally fine with Americans dying and then go on to talk some nonsense about "the national discussion is still which Americans deserve to die". Could you be more callus?

Seems they've got your head really screwed up with all this COVID stuff, but to the point of you saying who deserves to live or die? I've got to tell you, I'm an American and this so-called national discussion you talking about is certainly not in my wheelhouse and I wouldn't listen to anyone who would project who they thinks deserves to live and who deserves to die. How could anyone dare be so presumptive. Are you trying to play God?

I might be able to believe you are callus enough to believe what you are saying but still shocked that you would have the audacity to come right out and say it.

Thank God, I still believe there's more good in the human race than bad but this just shows it is deteriorating more all the time.
