DOD: More Troops Will Be Deployed To Afghanistan Before Sept. 11
OAN ^ | April 24, 2021

Posted on 04/24/2021 1:06:14 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

The Pentagon has released new logistical details regarding the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. On Friday, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had approved additional support to aid the withdrawal movement, which is slated to conclude by September 11.

“He has approved some additional measures today,” Kirby said. “He has approved the extension of the USS Eisenhower to remain in the Central Command area of responsibility for a period of time. And he has approved the addition of some long-range bombers to be deployed to the region.”

However, it isn’t just air and sea support that will be in the region. Kirby revealed that before the men and women serving abroad can return home, more troops will be deployed in the meantime.

This sounds like a "withdrawal" that isn't.

conservatives are having the scales fall from their eyes. Even the honorable US military has become a hateful leftist political and social engineering project.

The DoD simply disregarded Trump’s command-intent to leave Afghanistan thru manipulation of their briefings to him. Some would say “Trump got rolled” by the DoD. Well, maybe. But it certainly appears that Joe Biden is in the process of getting rolled by the DoD. Remind me: Why do we vote for Presidents?

The forever war. This has always been a mistake. The Russians learned the hard way. I think the US should deploy every General over there for at least a year until we bring our troops home. Let the Afghans fund and fight their own damn war.

These criminal Neocons will do whatever they have to do to prevent the withdraw from Afghanistan.

Whatever is necessary.

Everything bad that has happened via raghead terrorism to the U.S. and it’s citizens everywhere since the 1970’s is the direct result of Jimmie Carter and his pinko brethren he appointed to most government agencies...

Particularly the America-hating leftists he and Stansfield Turner flooded the CIA with after gutting it of most of its experienced senior personnel...

To this day, the CIA remains flooded with America-hating pinkos who were political activists in 2020 and helped the communists now ruling America to win...

Certainly more troops will help in the effort to remove the troops. That way, if we have more there, it will all sort of... well, cost more, take longer, and generally defeat the purpose of the thing. Great!

The DoD needs to be moved from DC and more of the top brass should be forced to live in active war zones.
