There was supposed to be an 82nd airborne jump into Bagram but was shut down by the White House.


Now that would have been epic.

“This action by the Biden administration is spitting in the face of our oldest ally.”

France? France who assisted us in defeating England in 1776 and has never gone to war with us? (save for the nazi occupied Vichy collaborators for 3 years)

England is FAR from our oldest ally. After the revolutionary war, they attacked us again in 1812 and burned the White House. They tried to assist the South and destroy America again in the Civil War. The Russian fleet helped prevent that. The Brits and aglophiles foisted the Federal reserve and WWI on us. In WWI Britain threatened neutral US ships with attack is they tried to sail into German ports. The Brits cut the undersea cable to Europe so we could only communicate to Europe through England.
After WWI the Brits wanted superiority over the US Navy in the Naval Treaties. They still viewed us as a potential enemy and demanded far more powerful of a fleet than we would be allowed.
They prolonged WWII by their insistence on efforts to keep their colonies in he Med, India and SE Asia in hand.
They sold the MiG-15 it’s engine that killed a lot of our men in Korea.
They were no shows in Vietnam.
And last but not least, Brit into and their 5 eyes buddies ran a campaign to influence the 2016 election to harm Trump. Failing there, the SOBs assisted in the 2020 coup in the USA.

Our “oldest ally” indeed.

Biden is buying Freedom with pallets of cash. Does not want Brits or
world to know.


Agree. He’s bribing the Taliban and doesn’t want anybody to know. It sure didn’t take long for the Democrat to throw their “allies” overboard.

I’m SO glad my son is out of the military and the 82nd 505 PIR. He fought in combat from 2003-2004. My heart and prayers go out to the regiment now. God protect them from the Taliban AND our own evil government. Amen.

Coming soon Benghazi writ large...

Biden is a godsend to the Taliban - and their new Chinese patrons. Why would they want to carry out a stupid massacre and mess up the career of such an obedient stooge? I predict all Americans will eventually be allowed to leave Afghanistan safely and Biden will be hailed as a “patient hero” by his fair-weather MSM critics for taking his time.

And China will then be free to extract more “favors” from Biden, at their leisure.

And why is a Vice Admiral running things in a high central asian desert, non-naval theater? You don’t hear of Army men in command of a naval fleet.

An example of the idiots running this war in microcosm.

Thanks for your reality reply:

Anyone who would consider having the 82nd jump into that environment is an idiot high ranking officer who just wants a new shiny bauble (combat jump wings maybe) for his own uniform.

Airborne has earned the right to post his reality:

He Served with the 82ND Airborne for 3 years (Co. C 2/504 (Abn)(Inf)) before being discharged with a SCI (T-4 complete). Expert Infantry Badge, Jump Wings (US & Canadian), Army Commendation Medal, PNCOC, Recondo School.

Probably hiding the fact that they are paying a huge ransom to these bearded weirdies.

I think that’s what Kamala is doing in Vietnam...working out the details, hopefully with somebody smarter than she is accompanying her. Of course, in the Biden administration, it would be pretty hard to find a smart person.

That’s your 3.5 trillion deal they are trying to jam through. I hope they get caught.

Has the Tolly-Bon been buying Hunter’s $500k crackhead art?

That’s what I think too. Their 3.5 trillion figure was set before this disaster, but I’m sure they realized they needed the bucks for the ransom.

The new Taliban Afghanistan is going to be one of the richest countries in the region.
