Rep. Crenshaw: US Troops Must Take Action at Kabul Airport, Reclaim Bagram Airfield
Newsmax ^ | Charlie McCarthy

Posted on 08/20/2021 8:51:23 AM PDT by GraceG

Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Friday said President Joe Biden must authorize U.S. troops to expand the perimeter around Kabul's airport and retake another air base to help with evacuations. The Texas Republican, who served as a Navy SEAL for a decade and was wounded in Afghanistan in 2012, tweeted his thoughts early Friday morning. "Two things need to happen, and only Biden can authorize: 1. US military must be allowed to operate outside Kabul airport to get American citizens. 2: Retake Bagram airfield, thus giving us more options for evacuations. Biden created this mess and needs to take decisive action," Crenshaw tweeted.

Not to personally insult anyone here, but why the personal vitriol toward a veteran that you disagree with?

It’s his opinion. Disagree as a veteran or father of a soldier, or an intellectual equal, but let’s get some good ideas kicked around for their merit or lack thereof. There are lives and international conficts at stake.

Personal attacks are a sign if ignorance by the flamer. Be shocked, suggest a better action.

A new term: I-rage. Road rage from the safety of one’s car from the safety of one’s screen. Or say it to him up close...in his working eye. We need to legalize assault or this country will never become civilized....allong with banning gun registration.

How much American blood will be shed of our American Soldiers to do this? All because of a demented fool.

Well go there, dickbrain (obviously directed to Crenshaw).

And, on the way, take off your eye patch, asshole, as depth perception is critical, jerk, when operating in hostile territory.

Give Crenshaw a gun and he can show us how it’s done. Right, Danny ?

Uh....Those 155mm howitzers the Taliban found laying around now make Bagram untenable as an exit portal. It was once fotified and secure but now it would be shelled mercilessly if the Taliban so chose.

Idiot Crenshaw: GROW A PAIR, and write a Letter of Marque and Reprisal, and get it through Congress! Congress the Constitutional power to raise an army and attack a foreign power that is laying siege to American citizens. IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE!

Ironic because Crenshaw backs red flag laws.

Hey Dan, maybe if you had supported Trump, we wouldn’t have gotten into this mess.

We can retake the airport in hours.

That would amount to an admission by Biden and the joint chiefs that they were wrong. So it won’t happen.
