No wonder the Brits are beyond livid.

Just curious: Were the Brits involved with all the fake anti-Trump conspiracy crap?

Here’s my take, their going to wait until the planes of US troops are loaded and taking off. Why start something now with US troops on the ground.

Their swamp is probably much deeper than ours, they've been at it longer.

Actually, there is no 'He' in their motto.

"Who Dares Wins"

Aside from the UK SAS, the SAS of the Aussies and the Kiwis use the same motto, as does Israel's Sayeret Matkal.

"No wonder the Brits are beyond livid."

Why should the Brits be so exercised about what
Biden has done in Afghanistan? Their aid to the
Democrats help install the President they wanted.
It seems to me they must approve of his policies.
Learn to live with your actions socialist Britain.

Is our entire military now over run with woke fagotry and unable to function at all? Is it just our inept leaders and commanders? Do our enemies sense we are truly a paper tiger as China claims. We give the Taliban 600,000 M4’s (AR15) and enough ammo to shoot for 100 years and Biden wants to take all of ours away and we don’t have any ammo?

>>Let’s see how eager the left will be to keep Biden in office when one of those planes are hit<<

Does anyone really think that the RATs really care if one of the planes go down?
The RATs will not only be willing to sacrifice any number of planes and passengers — they’re willing to sacrifice all 50 states and its inhabitants.

One would hope that at least those stinger rockets and drones have a way to be deactivated.

I’ve encountered some Army Nat Guard boys/girls here in Indiana who I thought were really excellent folks. Like plumbers and welders and nurses in their day job.

Can’t speak for the full timers.

It should have been handled like Trump said last night... get civilians out.. troops out.. and bomb the hell out of it.

That language works.

First, the Administration in its entirety needs to resign while Biden is Court Marshaled, and then he needs to resign.

Fustrated, I know we have good people in uniform but poor leadership and they are turning our military woke. All the F/A-18 pilots I helped train 30 years ago are now long retired along with all the original F/A-18 A/B/C maybe a few D's still flying and several Aircraft Carrier decks retired like the Connie CV64 and Midway CV41 and the Big E CVN65. No more Tomcats, Corsairs, Vikings, Intruders, and yet we are still flying Buffs (B52) that current pilots had their grandfathers fly.

The British Army has put us to shame. God bless the SAS.

America used to do operations like that, when we were a superpower. We could be again if we had the will.

Or the Don.
