WSJ ^ | 8.26.21 | Yaroslav Trofimov

The U.S. ambassador in Kabul has told staff there that four U.S. Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport and three wounded, a U.S. official with knowledge of the briefing said. Two explosions ripped through crowds of Afghans trying to enter the airport on Thursday.

At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.

The events of today have me feeling absolutely sick and numb. And the worst part is things are likely to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

Unfortunately, it's hard to slow this intentional demise of America.

Apparently they prefer today's news to those nasty tweets.

Both attempts failed.
Plus the Dems had the votes in The House to start off with. We don't. In either house.

Total FUBAR that a bunch of Marines were close enough to get hit like this. This is 100% on Biden and DOD for this Charlie Foxtrot.

Please provide a link or reference.

Reference, one of many: the C-17 photo's/vids of the last week are obviously fake. Taxiing C-17 has painted "windows", no rivets, no turbine blades, no engine, no sucked in Afghans, no blown away Afghans *right next* to the "engine".

Welcome to the Truman Show. We are all Truman's, you, me, all of us.

For links, go to my posts on FR forums. It's been more or less non-stop for months.

These Marines should have been AWOL before they left the U.S. to go back to that dump under the orders of our retarded potato in the White House.

Imagine serving on the ground over there, only to come back to the U.S. and find that you are being forced to take a useless COVID vaccine under the threat of a court-martial.

Damn biden and all his administration to HELL!

We knew this would happen and it is probably not the end of it either.

Damn them!

I don’t want to hear from them at all. First this then they dictate to jab our children with this danm vaccine.

Hatred is too soft a word for what I feel towards these maggots.

Beginning to think Biden is paying the wrong Taliban for “security”. Or perhaps the Taliban leadership ( whoever they are) don’t have full control of the jihadists or are not sharing the loot as they should. There have to be Taliban or jihadists there seeking revenge for the relatives and friends they lost in the long war.Many of them want another crack at the Americans and actually believe great heavenly rewards await them if they die trying to kill “infidels”. Doubt they have much regard or concern for their fellow Muslims who are trying to leave.

Most Americans alive today never heard of Bataan. America may be about to experience another Bataan.Just how will those brave 6,000 Soldiers and Marines be safely withdrawn?
