We should fly all our people out and blow it up as we leave

Hey I might be a Sailor, but I think this is within mortar range? Please any Army or Marine Freepers feel free to chime in!

Biden paid the ransom to the Taliban.

There might be a few incidents, but the Taliban has been paid to leave Americans alone.

The Biden Crime Family will get a generous cut of the ransom money.

I’m looking at the Google sat view of the airport. Looks like one runway to me. If the Taliban control the south side, they are only 1000 ft or so from our troops and can easily stop everything from coming or going if they choose to. Google Maps says ‘Temporarily Closed’ at the moment.

If the airport falls, thousands are stranded there and will die.

Including Americans.

What a Cluster Fornication………

At this point, if we manage to get our people out, it will be because the Taliban allowed it.

Jennifer Griffin has confirmed Taliban going door to door rounding up Afgan interpreters and others who are thought to have support American troops - more blood on Biden’s hands for not assisting in relocating these people to safer havens in the Middle East.

If they really are that close it’s really a cluster. They can probably take out inbound and outbound aircraft just with shoulder launched SAMS. Hopefully they (Taliban) know this will be suicidal. But then again, do they care?
