Nobody comforts the woman sitting with the dead woman, just video. We have that in common with them.

Won’t be easy if the Taliban close the airport and fire on any incoming planes with sufrace to air missiles or AA guns. Its a logistical nightmare due to the Biden cabals stupidity. This is what happens when the Joint Chiefs of Staff becomes just another woke Federal bureaucracy controlled by commissars. General Milley sadly is just another pole climbing political general. He has of course lost the confidence and respect of most of the officer corp and is being openly savaged by retired officers. However this is little solace to the 6,000 brave young Marines and soldiers who now find themselves isolated and surrounded by power drunk Taliban who are itching to even the score.

Thank you.

The only thing that makes me one bad dude, is that me and my bad boys didn’t take care of that dumb ass at that pool that fateful day. Could have changed the course of American history.

Same thing was happening in KS. Just have to have pilots with big brass ones to pull it off.

If the Taliban close the airport how will those 6,000 American troops be resupplied and withdrawn?

Good question. The Taliban can mortar those runways and close that airport at any time. The troops are trapped, just like the people outside the wire.

Seven people in the crowds near Kabul airport died amid the chaos of those fleeing the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, bringing the total killed in the last week to 20.

More people were killed in the Chicago hellhole...last weekend.

We're NOT buying the pity party... get our Americans OUT and the people on the list who helped us...NOT the 500,000 who are too cheap to pay Mexican Cartels to sneak them across the border.

“The MoD said in a statement on Sunday...”


Please note that we now have to get our news from the British Ministry of Defence as opposed the the American Defense Department.

Followed by Taliban forces on the ground storming the airport, using our own weapons against us. It will be a bloodbath.
