Breaking Update! Biden Will Not Prioritize Americans Over Afghans in Afghanistan Evacuation
Breitbart ^ | August 16, 2021 | John Binder

President Joe Biden is not planning to prioritize thousands of American citizens stranded in evacuations from Afghanistan, as the country falls similar to that of the Fall of Saigon in 1975, over Afghan nationals applying for visas to the United States.

....Snip....

As Breitbart News reported, the State Department and Defense Department have said there are “thousands” of Americans left in Afghanistan.

“Once we get more airlift out of Kabul, we’re going to put as many people on those planes as we can,” Kirby told Fox News:

[There will be a mix, not just American citizens, but perhaps some Afghan [Special Immigrant Visa] applicants as well. We’re going to focus on getting people out of the country, then sorting it out at the next stop. It’s not going to be just Americans first, then [Special Immigrant Visa] applicants.]

According to an anonymous source at the Defense Department who spoke to Fox News, the administration is considering fast-tracking some 30,000 Afghan nationals into the U.S., sending them to Fort McCoy in Monroe County, Wisconsin, and Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, using the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program.

The C17 is a beast it’s Max payload is 170900 freedom units we lbs with an average maj weight of 150# that’s 1140 of them. That cargo hold is packed full with just 640 of them. So as was to be expected since people are not that sense the cargo capacity is volume limited not weight limited. That flight only flew for an hour or so to a friendly airbase and off loaded them to be flown later to military bases in the U.S.

The 1975 Tân Sơn Nhứt C-5 accident only had 314 people on board it cause of crash was not overloading it was mechanical neglect when the rear locks on the cargo ramp let go under pressure taking the door with it and clipping the control cables leading to a loss of primary flight controls. I have seen every episode of why planes crash and mayday and aerial disasters it’s a hobby of mine. I typically watch those shows on my tablet while flying love the looks of the people next to me ha. I fly 25+ times per year
Never bothered me once to watch aircraft failure while on an aircraft.

If they were trying to get as many out as possible why fly halfway around the globe instead of somewhere closer where they could minimize the turn around time and maximize how many could be evacuated?

excellent point.

That’s not going to go over well.

Unless the GOP is clueless (probable) there should be ad buys of Biden prioritizing foreigners over Americans after thousands of American were maimed, had limbs amputated and others died, defending the jerks over there. Parents of dead soldiers will feel devalued and insulted again. Somebody should be told that between inane TV shows.

Wait until they start cutting American heads off and proudly display the videos. They are so vindictive that the thought of consequences doesn’t even enter in their minds. I’m talking about the left wing radical that are in power.

“An Afghani interpreter I have come to know well over the years was hung in the streets last night. They melted his DoD ID into his chest. Cut off his arms. And killed his family.

His 10 year old daughter was spared and handed off to leadership.”

I think all the American civilians in Afghanistan voted for Biden.

I guess those left behind in Afghani-crotch will have to mail in an absentee ballot next election.

You’re right.
Like that Daniel Pearl who had to be on his knees as they brought a blade around his neck and killed him.
And the videos of people in cages being burned alive. And others in cages lowered into water to drown. And father and son crucified on metal crosses after the 12 year old’s fingertips were sliced off.

That CNN reporterette Clarissa Ward, wearing the burqua for her story —— CNN ‘Journalist’ With Taliban: They’re Just Chanting ‘Death to America’ but They Seem Friendly at the Same Time.

Ya gotta be doin’ it on purpose to make decisions like this

Part of the overall plan to give control of the U.S. to the UN. The UN gets full funding and a military to enforce its dictates.
