Full article title: Overloaded but airborne: Incredible photo shows 640 Afghans on a US C-17 cargo jet - designed to carry 150 - after they ran on before soldiers could close ramp and pilot decided to take off from Kabul and save them all

The first photos have emerged of crammed US cargo jets with hundreds of terrified Afghan refugees on board after they ran onto the aircraft before military personnel could close ramps on them on Sunday in their escape of the Taliban.

The US has so far flown at least two C-17 cargo jets out of Kabul and more flights are expected throughout Monday night and later this week despite chaos on the ground on Monday which involved eight people dying and flights being halted.

“You’re making a big assumption that The Biden Administration is interested in vetting them, as opposed to just letting in as many future Rat voters as possible.”

Wary as anyone on the filthy Obamunists who pull the strings of the demented puppet Biden, of course.

At the same time, I see no reason not to make every effort to fulfill our promises to so many people who risked their lives for us.

I’m not going to stop supporting those people Gator.

Well if they prove themselves worthy, fine. And if Trump were in charge I would be confident they would be properly vetted. But I know in this case they aren’t sending their best.

“But I know in this case they aren’t sending their best.”

No way to know without checking.

I noticed in the photo that the few women and children on the plane are at the front in the photo, about the first one quarter at the most. Almost every person beyond that are men.

“They aren’t gonna check.”

Can’t see how that would work. Not with the incompetence seen in Afghanistan in recent weeks.

Biometric data is readily accessible.

It’s probably a matter of mass panic and (mostly) “the most able bodied”. Almost like a stampeding crowd in a fire...
