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.

Look at how few women and children afghans that they are bringing in in this huge group:

Glad someone else besides me noticed the lack of women and children in all these photos and videos..........

I know nothing about the Afghan family structure but from what I've seen there is no loyalty towards their wives and children by all the men trying to escape the country alone.........Very strange.

"What is going on at the Kabul airport shows the idiocy and lack of planning or the administration’s “decision maker” (Dr. Jill?) to abandon Bagram Air Base last month."
______________________

I wonder how much planning and money went into this little stunt instead of preparing to evacuate?

 United States Embassy in Kabul wasting the BLM and rainbow flags

I guess the perverts and anarchists running the State Department and the CIA are too busy playing slap-and-tickle with each other so the cannot actually protect Americans and our children in the military.

(FROM A PREVIOUS POST)

THIS IS A PROBLEM.

I PROPOSE A SOLUTION.

SET A COURSE OVER THE OCEAN

GAIN ALTITUDE TO 30,000 FEET. DROP RAMP. RAPID DECENT TO
20,000 FEET. AT 20,000 FEET CLIMB SHARPLY TO 30,000 FEET AGAIN. REPEAT AS OFTEN AS NECESSARY.

SHOULDN’T TAKE MANY CYCLES TO CLEAR THE CARGO DECK COMPLETELY.

MY CIVIC DUTY. NO THANKS ARE NECESSARY.

Blame the victim. People risked their lives working for us. Calling them terrorists is scummy.

Horrible.
