sounds like the reports of Friction between the US and UK are true

US doesn't want the "deal" with the Taliban fall apart and the UK says screw that

Because Biden and the communists want to demoralize us.

briefing : British paratroopers going out into Kabul to get their people. Why aren’t we? DOD isn’t authorized. WH needs to give that authorization and give enough troops to do that. WTF are we waiting for?

Our military’s rules of engagement are established by a brigade of lawyers; every proposed maneuver has to be vetted by them. And the honor, duty and sacrifice that once defined our military are entirely alien to lawyers. (Incidentally, have you noticed that all three branches of government are staffed largely by lawyers?)

This was the rumor yesterday which seems to be at least mostly true

British Paratroopers are having fierce arguments with 82nd Airborne as they are refusing to send out military escorts to get people out, so our Paratroopers are doing it.

These people in charge of our military are total scumbags.

Let the Brits do what the Brits do. If they’re getting British Nationals out, awesome.

As for the Afghani’s....NOPE. NOPE. AND NOPE.

Let them bring in thousands and thousands and thousands of these 12th century savages. Please, let them. They will reap the rewards in the coming months and years.

Less for us to take.

The Northern Alliance is getting the band back together. Need guns. Wonder who’s going to help them with that? Hmmmmmm.

As for all the fighting age men in AFghanistan, instead of grabbing onto a C17, head north, grab a rifle and fight for your country.

State Department won’t disclose how many US civilians trapped. Easier to make them disappear if they’re never disclosed.

Because the Chairman of the JCOS and the SecDef have other things on their sked.

Like promoting transgenderism and CRTin the military, and placing females in combat units, whether or not they physically qualify, “equity” and what causes “white rage”.

Yeah but can anyone even provide some examples? We keep hearing about 10,000 Americans trapped. Who the heck are they? Where are their relatives in the US clamoring for their safety? It is not happening. Why?

The Biden Communist puppet regime has a plan to evacuate tens of thousands of Afghani refugees, but Americans are being left behind with no plans for extraction.

Our government HATES us and is a domestic enemy of the people.

Much/most of Afghanistan is happy to live in the 12th century as savages. Educated, civilized Afghans, not so much. The Afghans who acted as interpreters for us and the other NATO forces over the last 20 years are likely in the educated, civilized group. We morally owe then an escape out of awaits them at the Taliban’s hands. Taliban being the poster children of the 12th-century savage types of Afghans.

“Answer - Our Mission is STILL just trying to secure the Airport”

Follow up question should have been: Our military can’t walk and chew gum at the same time?

We’ll get a ‘count’, when the mass beheadings and executions begin.

“British paratroopers are going in to save their people why aren’t we?”

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Taliban are using our allies as wedges against us, by letting them ‘rescue’ their people, while making it PERFECTLY CLEAR that we try something like that, the many hostages will pay a big price.

What is the evacuation count for today of AMERICANS?

has anybody seen a peep on that subject? Here it is nearly 1400 Eastern and now pushing midnight in Kaboom and we don’t know how things are progressing?

Did plugs put a lid on that too?
