The rest of the embassy staff, as well as SIV’s, local employees and their families will be shuttled to the Karzai international airport, where they will setup a fallback embassy to keep processing visas/evacuations and prepare to leave.
Betcha their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training is up to snuff. Take that, Taliban!
The Taliban is like a cancer; we did not properly excise all of it. And now it has metastasized.
Unexpectedly, of course.....
Total number of aviation assets recently captured by the Taliban:
1x Mi-35
4x UH-60 Blackhawks
2x MD-530Fs
9x Mi-17s
6x Scan Eagle UAVs
(most inoperational at the time of capture)
Mazar-e-Sharif was a stronghold. Dostan ruled that city to the point the government had to do what he wanted.
That Dostan’s militia, which kept the Taliban out of MES for 20 years, retreated so fast is a surprise to me. But what do I know? I was just there in late 2019.
Nothing Bush and his Deep State Thug advisors did or didn’t do after 9/11 would not surprise me nor my friends and family.
My SIL is in Kabul with the 82nd. I certainly do not want his career tarnished by a mission that is a complete Charlie Foxtrot. Worse yet, I don’t want him injured or killed so a pedophile prophet worshiping POS can immigrate to America. My grandson deserves a father more than any Muslim deserves to immigrate to America. America First means American Lives First. Muslims Lives Do Matter.”
Prayers up for all of the relatives of our troops over there as well as our troops.
No... It’s more like the US Army driving down the German Autobahn in ‘45 accepting surrenders. The Taliban is facing zero resistance. Even a few snipers would force them to dismount for hours on end until the sorted it out. No, they’re moving at the speed of an off-road vehicle stopping only for gas and potty breaks.
