led officials to complain that they could be taking seats

several other officials said the visit was viewed as a distraction for troops and commanders at the airport

oooh ... these battle-hardened troops and commanders can fight Russian divisions on a nuclear battlefield, but just a quiet visit by 2 congressman is enough of a distraction to botch their operations? Please.

OK right away, when you hear bogus criticisms like these, you get the impression that the Military "leadership" and the Biden Administration really don't want anyone to find out what's going on over there ... everyone can draw their own conclusions as to why

From the WSJ:

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates—Two U.S. congressmen quietly slipped into Kabul airport on Tuesday, saying in an interview that they hoped to gather on-the-ground information to provide to their fellow elected officials about the chaotic evacuation effort in Afghanistan.

Reps. Seth Moulton (D., Mass) and Peter Meijer (R., Mich.) transited through the United Arab Emirates on a commercial airline and then, with no staff and without alerting congressional leadership or administration officials, took military flights on a U.S. ally's planes in and out of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul.

If anything, these guys are guilty of embarrassing the Biden/Harris White House.
