This article describes the destruction of military equipment at the Kabul Airport. The leftist media will focus on that and totally ignore the vastly greater amount of equipment and munitions left behind at Bagram airbase. In fact the propaganda media will probably never mention abandoning Bagram before evacuating our embassy. Even a Democrat could tell that that was really a catastrophically stupid action.

It appears to me that there is something seriously wrong with Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie in his position to lead marines. Seeing him on multiple briefings, he comes off with an arrogant, flippin attitude that thinks he is playing a video game instead of serious reality with real consequences.

He is very proud of his effort in this surrender saying “We didn’t get all the Americans out but what the heck, we got out the majority of them” and “ We lost more than ten Marines but that is less than twenty, things could have been worse”.

With the current leadership, the Marines can change their moto to, “We are the Marines, we’ll always try to give it a good effort”.

I totally agree. He is political, not taking his soldiers' lives seriously. He ain't no Chesty Puller! Just another piece of Odungo's army trash.

“6,000 have been removed. What happened to the remainder???”

The State Department has distributed free burkas to hide them while they try to hike into Pakistan.

Another hint, how much lithium and neodymium is in the rocks of Afghanistan?

6,000 left. How many LEFT BEHIND???????? But, of course the Idiot In Charge, BrainDead SleepyBaby Joe says they wanted to stay behind. Right. Sure. And Burrrrack Obammy was born in Nashville, Tennessee. Those people will be used as hostages. Terrorized. Beaten. Women Raped. Tortured. And eventually offered back for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Heard a lady congresscritter, I think from S.C. today and she said we left behind something like EIGHTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS worth of military equipment and hardware, weapons, planes, vehicles, helicopters, airplanes, ammo, uniforms, equipment, mess kits!!! (hahaha), canteens, entrenching tools (shovels for those unknowing what an entrenching tool is), boots, shells, you name it, we probably left it behind. Nothing like supplying the terrorists, all their pals, Red Chinese, Soviets, Iran, Iraq, etc., all that free military hardware to kill civilians and military personnel alike. EVERY DROP OF BLOOD THAT IS NOW SPILLED BY ANY OF THESE WEAPONS OF WAR ARE ON THE HANDS OF BRAINDEAD JOE, the DIMOCRATS, and EVERYONE who assisted the theft of the election, those who actually legally voted for the old fool, and anyone who even dreamed of him winning. THE DEAD MARINES and civilians over there are on his hands and their hands. Thousands are being rounded up and executed now. I saw a video of a woman held in a square with all the muzzie thugs around her. She was forced to her knees while one of those loudmouthed muzzie thug MOO-laaaa’s PREACHED his filth and crap, and this one of his brave boys shot her in the top of the head while they danced around her dead body. Yeah. Real men. No, nothing but scum of the earth. Yeah, right, religion of peace my @$$. They are nothing but a religion of hate, murder, rape, theft, pure scum. Created by a pedophile murdering thug. If they don’t get their way, they murder, rape and pillage. Yeah. Wonderful mob. Just like their pals, the dimocrats.

Check out the Andrew Wilkow program from yesterday, or the day before, when the mother of one of the Marines called into Andrew’s Seris Radio program and came completely unglued. She was cussing like a Navy veteran, then apologized and Andrew told her it was okay, go ahead and vet. She was really heart retching. I hurt listening to her. I saw this crap in 1975 when Vietnam fell. We cut and run again. It took the First Gulf War for us to win back people. Now, it is lost again. No one on this planet trusts us. The Soviets and Red Chinese see us as weak. They see they can probably pull anything they want and get away with it. The Red Chinese now have as large or larger navy out there as we do. They are building a juggernaut. The Soviets have more, and more powerful nukes than we do. We have not been keeping up. We are going to get our @$$e$ handed to us if we don’t watch it.

Beau Biden was a naval officer, just like Nimitz, Perry, John Paul Jones.....of course none of those men were thrown out of the Navy for being a crackhead, but you know man, the thing.

I have never been more ashamed of this country. What’s happening now makes the 70s look like a golden age.

Some of the “Americans” have dual citizenship. I don’t know what percent, but might be married or part of an extended family.
