Truth bomb. I have seen several reports that the Taliban are knocking on doors looking for westerners and journalists also. They just killed a CNN journalist. There are maybe 10,000 Americans still not able to get to the airport. I see the possibility of this turning into a total train wreck. Then if we do manage to get our own people out God help the poor Afghanis after we are gone.
We should have helped those who worked with us directly. Instead, we left them to the mercies of those beasts.
The Afghani’s had close to 20 years and almost $1,000,000,000,000 US tax dollars to get it right.
2312 Americans were Killed in Action trying to help them get it right.
20,000+ American’s Wounded In Action trying to help them get it right. Losing limbs, eyesight, permanently disabled, PTSD. A close friend was in an IED attack. His MRAP was blown up right after he and his teammates delivered medicine to a clinic. He survived but deals with the injuries of that, to this day.
1000s of contractors killed or wounded. And not all of them were guys with guns. Many were truck drivers, trying to deliver the mail or some food to folks.
They had their chance. They blew it.
F*CK THEM!!!!!!
