Troops Sent to Help Evacuate US Embassy in Afghanistan; Joe Biden's Words Come Back to Haunt Him

[Doc8404]

I will never forget the dismounted patrol when I turned to a junior Marine and asked where the fk his Corpsman was.

“Oh, Doc B? He’s in the vic (vehicle). This patrol is too dangerous for him to be out here We can’t afford that.”

Then he looked at me, we laughed as he said, “Ummmm WTF is a Master Chief (E9) doing out here then?”

I asked myself that same question at the same time.
Just as I thought of my wife and ten month old son at home.

Just as a goat ran around the corner, full bore. Scared the ever loving shit out of both of us. Then we laughed and agreed we shoulda shot it and taken it home.

no bueno. Good times though.

 

[Doc8404]

Sounds like to Texas and Wisconsin

they can open up our southern and northern borders even more for us.
Awesome.

I treated many of those goat fuckers. Mostly with Benedryl and Motrin no matter WTF their problem was

President Biden: "It is wrong to order American troops to step up when Afghanistan's own armed forces would not."

Mark lavin had the british commander of Afghanistan .. At least for a few years.
He said we trained the local fighting forces to depend on our intel and air power to back them up. Biden took that away and the military just collapsed ...

 

[livingston]

Haven't heard any "mainstream" media outlet call the taliban "insurrectionists"... could it be because their CCP overlords planned in advance to recognize the legitimacy of the new taliban government?

[tirwin1]

Considering they want us gone it will last until then and not a second more.

That assumes a level of discipline on behalf of the taliban and the US forces. Not to mention all the people trying to get away. What happens when an interpreter's family is at the gate with valid paperwork to leave but the taliban won't let them through?

Congressman Doug Lamborn Recently Questioned Defense Secretary Austin and Joint Chief Chair Milley About Afghanistan, What They Said Should Get Them Fired Today - VIDEO - The Last Refuge

Many people have wondered how the Biden administration could get the collapse of Afghanistan so horribly wrong and botched completely the withdrawal of U.S. forces. To that point there is a little known Question and Answer session by Colorado Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO, CD05) that deserves some attention.



Lamborn asked about the hazard of closing Bagrham AFB given the tenuous nature of reliance on one airport in Kabul. Lamborn also asked about the evacuation of U.S-Afghan allies and the risk to women and girls if the Taliban were successful. What Def Sec Austin and General Milley said in response totally explains why the White House was blind-sided by the Taliban in the past week. [WATCH Video at 01:06:56, Prompted]

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement on Speaker Pelosi blocking questions on the briefing call on Afghanistan.

"On this morning’s bipartisan conference call regarding Afghanistan with Secretaries Austin, Blinken, and Chairman Milley, Authoritarian Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi blocked me and multiple Republican Members from asking questions and lied and said “there were no further questions in the queue.”



"I sit on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and represent the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, the most deployed US Army division since 9/11. I have led and participated in multiple bipartisan delegations to Afghanistan.



"My questions were the following:

After seeing the Afgan Nationals tuck their tails and run, knowing that their sisters and daughters will be abused and defamed, knowing that the Taliban will start beheading and killing without remorse, I got to thinking, If they, knowing what lies ahead, turned into simpering bitches, refusing to even try, what will Americans do? American's testicles have been removed too. Just watched Biden's speech. America is going to continue to "speak out" against women's discrimination in that country. There you have it.

So what did they say that should get them fired?

I can only imagine what the rules of engagement are for the troops there. It wouldn't surprise me if they aren't given live ammo so as to prevent any accidents.

Somehow a consensus has formed that the taliban will do nothing and allow the US to leave peacefully. I hope that is correct but that seems very unlikely to me, particularly if this drags on for weeks.

Not sure but I thought I read a story that some troops from 82nd shot a couple armed people trying to gain access to airport

I disagree, somewhat.

Nation building is a fools errand. However, what would have been wrong with keeping air assets, and troops to protect those air assets and bases, in Afghanistan to provide air support for the Afghan military? The U.S. hasn't had a combat casualty in Afghanistan in over 16 months. We supposedly trained the Afghan military to fight with combined arms. Then, the U.S. withdrew all air power and even contractor support to keep Afghan air assets flying.

We have bases all over the world. Keeping a minimal presence in Afghanistan with the defined goal of denying the Taliban the staging ground that they enjoyed prior to 2001 would seem to be worthwhile.

That may have been a much better idea than a complete retreat. Blame both biden and trump in this case, though, since both wanted out.

its reported the "tallyban" (xiden is an idiot) now have more Blackhawk helicopters than 166 of our allies.......good to know

out was needed.
Blame should be about this lack of planning. Moving up the timeline.
not evacuating Americans and key personnel that helped us the last 20+ years before pulling our troops out. There’s absolutely no reason for that.

Yes they are.

Not good. Not good at all.


I'm not a genius but terrorists having the ability to shoot down commercial or military aircraft is a recipe for disaster. It's a good thing we have our borders secured....

This dude with his stinger squad look friendly. Nothing to see here move along.
