A diehard team of SAS fighters have volunteered to stay behind in Afghanistan to avenge the deaths of 13 US troops murdered at Kabul airport.
Sources say up to 40 members of the Who Dares Wins regiment have asked to remain in the war-torn nation so they can take the fight to IS-K – the terrorist group behind Thursday’s suicide bombing and gun attack.
The dramatic move came as the last UK civilian evacuation flight left the airport on Saturday – with 150 British passport holders still stranded in the city....
The SAS party is likely to establish a base in the lawless Afghan-Pakistan border area to conduct undercover strikes against the ultra-violent Islamic State Khorasan Province jihadists based in eastern Afghanistan.
...Although the force will need the approval of the Taliban to operate in Afghanistan, defence sources say this is likely to be given.
The British and US special forces will be organised along the same lines as Task Force Black, which once operated in Iraq....

I am sure they could do some damage. But sometimes the only tool to do the job is a flight of four B-52s.
Imagine pretending that Al Queda and Taliban aren’t the same when the Haqqanis are the ones in charge of Kabul’s security. The Haqqanis are sworn to both Taliban and AQ and they are representatives of the Pakistani intelligence- ISI who have pushed for them to have control of Kabul. Actually since American spokesmen are even saying that the Haqqanis and the Taliban are different, maybe we shouldn’t expect a lot.

Who leaks this stuff out?
it’s been out a few days now. One of the endeavours has media embedded but I can’t remember if its abc or nbc. There’s also a NYT reporter hanging around the gates and sniffing things out thats been guested a few times but honestly there’s more media than, that so who knows?
“These SAS fighters are some of the world’s toughest and best and they absolutely mean business. They don’t even need firearms to kill the bad guys. The barbarians will never see them or hear them before they quickly depart this Earth.”
The same guys who undertook damned near suicide missions in North Africa in WW2. They made Rommel say he needed guards on each and every plane to ensure it wasn’t blown up.
Some other International Badasses...
Sayeret Matkal, Israel
“During the selection camp (Gibbush), would-be recruits endure hardcore training exercises while being constantly monitored by doctors and psychologists. Only the strongest get in.”
National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, France
Only 200 members, trained in counter-terrorism and hostage rescue. These are the guys who advised the Saudi’s on retaking the Grand Mosque in 1979. It is illegal by French law to take pictures of Group members

Unidad de Operaciones Especiales, Spain
“Earning the UOE green beret, however, is a quite the challenge, with the failure rate of candidates averaging 70% to 80%. It’s not uncommon for 100% of would-be new recruits to be rejected.”
Badasses everywhere and we’re stuck Potato Head China Joe Biden at the helm.
Something tells me that Biden is not on the SAS’ speed dial.
“GOOD intentions... BAD idea.”
I tend to agree. Especially if the Taliban agree to let them stay.
Why does it keep running through my head the leader of ISIS-K is “Special”?
Like... “ISIS-K”?
Seriously?
Isn’t that a Seoul-based girls hip-hop group with ancient Egyptian overtones?
WHY is this public information??
Prince was on Tucker’s show a week ago and I got the feeling then he may have already extracted some.
“They don’t even need firearms to kill the bad guys.”
They can use their Belgian Malinois
And another:
They’re SAS.
They don’t need supply lines. As they take out targets, they repurpose whatever is usable.
The taliban are more than sunni, they are wahhabi which is worse.
Add to that the German GSG-9, the Russian Directorate “A” of the FSB Special Purpose Center, or the Irish Army Ranger Wing, or the Japanese Tokushusakusengun (Special Forces Group)
Like I said...badasses EVERYWHERE and we get stuck with Potato Head China Joe calling the shots. The man can screw up a wet dream.
No other leader in the world would have let Kabul happen as it has. They would have unleashed their Badasses at the drop of a hat, with very liberal ROE.
Only if they are 100% successful in taking out intentional targets.
This isn't an action hero movie with a scripted ending. This could easily turn into a "Custer's Last Stand"
However, if you're so confident then get your A$$ over there join them
Thanks in advance... We all appreciate your sacrifice.
