The reporter doesn't give any kind of source for this report, only "I understand that...".

I'm not saying it isn't true, but neither is it verified to the extent that one can jump all over it as if it were. Let's be adults here. At least temper our comments with something like, "If this is true..."

This guy most likely didn’t do this of his own accord. Probably ordered to do so by that “woke joke” Milley.

This is what the Kenyanesian Usurpation turned our military into.

This is what it looks like when an American President surrenders.

For anyone confused, the answer is VERY SIMPLE: The Taliban is letting British and French Special Forces ‘rescue’ (really pick up) their civilians, but won’t give the US the same permission. And they have access to thousands of Americans to back up their rules.

That’s how things work when you have new masters that you have to answer to.

Shameful. If England and France want to help our people, bless them! And please, God, let it happen and keep all of them safe.

Just shaking my damn head.

I’ve seen similar complaints in union shops when a good worker is hired, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in the military.

But then I have no personal experience with 0bama Generals.

The answer should be: "You're already looking bad. Tomorrow we will look good and you will still look bad."

I suspect the White House is micromanaging the Kabul operation and the US forces can’t go to the bathroom without Washington permission.

This country hasn’t descended far enough into the abyss for a possibility of change to occur.

I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

With some pithy British slang I hope!

Our military has certainly fallen a long way since the days when a U.S. officer held a gun to the head of a Pakistani tank commander and ordered him to move it out and help get our men out of Mogadishu during Black Hawk Down. “No man left behind” is now such a quaint nicety.

‘The Brits, you guys are going outside the wire to rescue people...the US are beholden to an old man and his cabinet who can’t do anything.’

Former Trump adviser @SebGorka praises British forces in Afghanistan and slams President Biden for a ‘lack of action.’
