Impeachable Offense

In July 2021, Joe Biden abandoned Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield in the middle of the night after nearly 20 years of US occupation. The Biden regime shut off the electricity and slipped away in the night without notifying the base’s Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ secret departure more than two hours after they left.

The Taliban quickly took control of Bagram Air Base, which is only 30 miles north of Kabul on August 15th and released thousands of terrorists held at its prison.

The Biden regime, Mark Milley and the Afghans left the Taliban military equipment, uniforms, rations and even sports drinks for the Taliban terrorists.

...

the ISIS suicide bomber who murdered 13 US servicemen and women and 169 Afghans was released by the Taliban from the Bagram Base prison in July.

...

Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a U.S. Marine Corps sniper who served i Afghanistan during the surrender to the Taliban forces, testified before Congress on Wednesday. Vargas told Congress that he was denied permission to shoot the suicide bomber in Afghanistan that killed 13 service members and over 170 civilians.

...

"Plain and simple, we were ignored. Our expertise was disregarded. No one was held accountable for our safety... The withdrawal was a catastrophe, in my opinion. There was an inexcusable lack of accountability."

Impeachable.

But, nothing will be done to hold the fraud accountable.

Yet, a couple days later, they had no problem getting permission to light up what turned out to be a loyal Afghan interpreter in his driveway; killing not only him but also most of his children.

Of course, the usual ‘fog of war” BS excuse report came out, compensation was paid (DOD lawyers believe a heap of yankee dollars washes away a lot of blood), and no one was held responsible. No one.

These people are beneath contempt.

With this and the shutting down of the elite scout sniper platoons, maybe the Marines are no longer shooting the enemy?

Everything is so screwed up.

I expected them to unleash hell and they did.

Its exactly sh** like this why I told my nephew and his friends, on several occasions - do NOT join the military while Joe Biden, or any woke/neocon/Democrat demon is in charge.

Same thing that Clinton did when informed that Bin Laden could be shot dead. He had already murdered hundreds.
Clinton was having to much fun at some event and denied the request.

Very similar to the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in the early 1980s.

This is why you’d be crazy to put your life in the hands of the U.S. government.
