Sounds good to me:

Speaking as if he were the president, Willink admitted that he made “critical errors” in underestimating the Taliban’s capabilities.He said the blame was on him alone.He admitted that the Americans and Afghan allies were stranded, but said they “will not be for long.” He spent most of the speech proving the steps he would take to rectify the problem.
“In the next 48 hours, America will be in control of most major airports in Afghanistan,” he said.”Any resistance we meet from the Taliban or otherwise—when we seize these airports—will be destroyed completely and without mercy.”He said gaining control of these airports will allow U.S. forces to conduct swift rescue missions throughout the country. “Any person who interferes with these operations will be killed,” he said. He also said he would order troops to either retake or destroy weapons and equipment left behind by fleeing Afghan troops.

Send in the SEALS to capture all the Taliban leaders.

Hold them for ransom.

All I know is everyone left in that Kabul airport is a sitting duck.

I have no doubt the taliban would go hellfire on everyone there as payback for 9/11 and the last 20 years.

Would be a great statement and celebrated by all muslims.

God help our people that are going to be killed there with Biden’s blessing.

Ah, a simple, straightforward, effective plan with clear objectives and ROE... You realize it will never happen, right? Biden's Chinese handlers don't want anything of the sort. They want the Taliban in control so that they (the Chinese) will have better access to various resources in Afghanistan. They want an American defeat, an embarrassment - it strengthens the Chinese political and military positions around the world. They want a resurgent terrorist threat to the west, in particular the US, to keep us distracted and drain our resources and resolve.

So the illegal, incompetent, dementia suffering Biden will do nothing of the sort.

Now there’s a man I could support for President. What a stark contrast to the clown we have.

Biden is terrified that there will be casualties, either military or civilian. Consequently he is paralyzed with inaction which will ultimately lead to a higher body count, which will lead to more bs, just piled higher and deeper. After saving Hunters butt, he thinks the propaganda spewing media can fix anything. He’s totally delusional.

If this plan involves keeping the the Kabul airport open so that the US deep state can fly hundreds of thousands of Afghan migrants into the USA - then its a shitty plan.

Love Jocko’s podcasts. His plan seems legit, so I am doubtful it would ever be implemented.

That is what a strong, competent leader would do. It isn’t what an INCOMPETENT IDIOT like Biden WILL DO.

10K to 40K Americans left behind, 7K Taliban prisoners set free, $85 Billion in equipment left behind, Bagram and all COPS & JCOPS abandoned. Biden/Harris and all those leftist Democrats who voted for them OWN THIS DEBACLE. THEY SHOULD BE TRIED FOR TREASON AND PUBLICALLY HANGED!

There was an OPORD and it wasn’t followed. I was in NW Afghanistan for a year as a US Army Combat Infantryman.
1) Get all American civilians out first.
2) Get out all Taliban prisoners (CONAIR).
3) Get out all aircraft, vehicles, and equipment.
4) Get out the Terps who helped us.
5) Get all US Military out.
6) Drop JDAM’s and MOAB’s on ALL our air bases, COPS, and JCOPS (preferably just when the Taliban have moved in).
7) Close down Bagram and all other air bases.
8) Fly away and don’t come back

All good but too little too late and not an option that the surrender MONKEYS running the country would ever take!

He may be a hero, but he is full of BS.

The first American soldier who sets foot on Afghanistan soil will trigger the public execution of many, maybe hundreds, of Americans still there. Until we get them out by whatever means, bribery, payments, arms donated, our hands are tied. We do whatever after they get back home.

Nucrlear bombs kill everyone. Our people would be first to die.

Why is he running mouth? Perhaps he ran no TS OPS? No man I served with said a word about MACVSOG until we were allowed.
It was over 30 years.
