NEVER FEAR, WOKE MILITARY IS HERE!

If you’ve had any experience with civilian extractions, there are a whole lot of things in Afghanistan that don’t add up.
One year ago, we had 2,500 U.S Military on the ground in Afghanistan in a non-combat advisory and over-watch role. They could go pretty much anywhere in the country and were not taking any casualties. Things were relatively stable by Afghanistan standards.
Yet somehow today, despite having 5,000 troops on the ground from the Marines and 82nd Airborne – that is, fully-armed combat infantry – our military is besieged inside a three-square-mile perimeter at Kabul airport surrounded by Taliban guerillas. We are told that their only mission is securing the airport perimeter and we see them struggle even with that task, as hundreds of Afghan civilians swarm the tarmac and clamber onto airplanes taxiing to takeoff.
Somehow, we are supposed to believe our forces have no capabilities to go out to rescue trapped American citizens, Afghan translators, and other Afghans who worked for us. Somehow, we are not supposed to see up-armored HUMVEEs and MRAP vehicles or the Apache helicopter gunships used to clear civilians off the runways a few days ago. We are also not supposed to see the Chinook helicopters they used a few days ago to get everyone from the embassy onto the airfield.
We are supposed to believe the U.S. military forgot how to set up alternative pickup points around the city, whether back at the old embassy, at other locations around Kabul, or outside the city in a remote field someplace. We just forgot how to contact trapped Americans by text message or covert means to set up a rendezvous with the Chinooks before the Taliban figure out where they are, with Apaches in over-watch security just in case.

“Yet somehow today, despite having 5,000 troops on the ground from the Marines and 82nd Airborne – that is, fully-armed combat infantry – our military is besieged inside a three-square-mile perimeter at Kabul airport surrounded by Taliban...”
Maybe because whoever is in charge at the White House told Smiley Milley to stand down and that is what he ordered the troops to do so we don’t offend any of the Taliban.
Sounds to me like the real plan is to get as many fighting age Afghan males brought over to the US as they can in a hurry. You would think that muzzies are pulling the puppet strings of this govt. you know, like Valjar and OBeelzebub.
Afghanistan is being handled intentionally badly. Someone is up to something. I don’t know if they are distracting us from the audits, or sneaking someone or something through our southern border, or what it might be. But we can project force into Kabul and get our people out. We can do that. But we have decided that we have no interest in doing so at the moment. Why?
FUBAR
SO WHY DON’T U.S. FORCES LEAVE KABUL AIRPORT TO RESCUE AMERICANS?
The only logical reason for our dilemma is that we made a deal with the Taliban: they’ll let the airport operate, and let Americans in to fly home, but U.S. forces don’t leave the airport perimeter.
Clearly, our forces are being held to this deal by our side, while the Taliban laughs at our naivete and only permits a trickle of Americans through. And our Afghan allies don’t dare go near the airport, where they will be grabbed and murdered by the Taliban.
This was a fool’s deal. We are in a trap, and the Taliban can close the trap at any moment they choose, simply by dropping mortar shells on the runway. We are in check, with no moves. If we retake Bagram, for example, the Taliban shell the airport and all of the Americans in Kabul, citizens and military, are hostages.
Leaving Bagram Air Base before all our citizens were taken out was the worst military decision I can think of. With Bagram, we’d have Apaches flying over Kabul on patrol, helos would be taking our people from the Embassy and the airport to Bagram, and they’d be getting out of the country on a non-stop military airlift under our control.
Instead, we put all our eggs in the Kabul airport basket, under 100% Taliban control.
Look at Biden’s Rules of Engagement.
Obama’s Rules of Engagement in 2008 so shackled the military that the suicide rate of active duty military doubled instantly.
Kind of like the Capitol Police!!!
“”What the heck is going on with our military in Kabul?””
Don’t ask. Don’t tell

Why are Americans outside a wall in a crowd of people, in the first place? Why didn’t they plan for this? Why did they cancel Trump’s program to evacuate Americans?
Hint: it ain’t incompetence. It’s intent. Beijing Biden is coming thru for his CCP bosses.

Whoever (China, Obama) has the insidious Biden (and others) videos is calling the shots to sow dissension and ultimately destroy the U.S.
Amen to all you said.
With all of Milley's medals, he must be a better general than this poor slob - only one row! And why is he wearing his stars in a circle? Nobody today does that!
We're fortunate to have such a hero as Mr. Medals Milley! I'm sure no one could have done more.
The Administration is more worried about a Black Hawk Down scenario than they are leaving Americans behind...they are more willing to leave American’s than to have to deal with the casualty of a US Service member. Think about this. Their loyalty is to the narrative that they can sell in November of 2022. Images of US Troops being beheaded and drug through the streets is something they want to avoid. In their minds they can weather some random American’s getting their throats slit, but a military disaster where US service members get killed.... This is how cold and calculating these bastards have become and our intel and DOJ have pains of patriotism from time to time but in truth their loyalty is now to power and they look on the US citizens as serfs already. Why do I think this...Phil Mudd basically said it. He is a direct link to the American Stazi.
We are heaping dishonor upon dishonor.
Sneaking out of Bagram like thieves in the night was a disgrace, and it’s just getting worse.
Exactly.
Our military are always ready, willing and able, despite POS like Milley Vanilly.
But, they need the CIC to give the orders.
Our generals are starting to look like those Russian generals with a ridiculous amount of medals on there chest. Hmm. Maybe because they have the same philosophy?
