Afghanistan
“We are f*cking abandoning American citizens,” Army colonel wrote in a frantic series of texts that detail how a group of Americans were rejected at airport as rescue flight awaited.
Poetrooper sends in this report from Just the News. Which confirms that which we already know. We left people behind in Afghanistan so that President Biden could keep his word to the Taliban. This despite Biden’s assertions that America “leave[s] nobody behind” no less than 21 times in the last four years alone. Senator Tom […]
We’re out!
It looks like Biden pulled out a day early. It’s very early in the morning on 31 August in Afghanistan and the last of the US military aircraft is wheels up. The US military is no longer in Afghanistan. This does explain why they were turning away civilians the last day or so, as we […]
Kabul Marine widow meets Biden, is unimpressed
The pregnant widow of Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, one of the 13 US servicemembers killed in the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport last week, is said to have met with President Biden when her husband’s remains arrived at Dover Air Force Base. Other members of Rylee’s family declined to meet with the President, rightfully […]
We’re Leaving, Mmmmkay?
The US withdrawal from Afghanistan is still being targeted by ISIS-K, as indicated elsewhere. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/30/rockets-target-us-troops-as-afghanistan-withdrawal-in-final-stage.html Might be simpler if the ISIS-K people focused on their real mortal enemies instead of taking potshots at those departing. Now, China may have “agreements” with the Taliban, but there is that “be careful what you wish for” aphorism: China […]

General reportedly cancels Marines’ flight out of A-stan so they can ‘clean the base for the Taliban’ before leaving
I really hope this isn’t true, but with everything else happening the last two weeks, I fear it is. Poetrooper sends in an article from National File; A viral Instagram post highlights a text message exchange in which a U.S. military servicemember states that the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit is being forced to clean a […]
“Pineapple Express” does what the active US mil is unable or unwilling to do
Task Force Pineapple, so named because they used the imagine of a pineapple on a cell phone as a code, has succeeded in going into Afghanistan, out from the Kabul airport, and rescuing Afghan allies. While this would be a remarkable story if it was being conducted by current, active duty special operations forces, it’s […]
CENTCOM commander says they will continue to work with the Taliban, who “protect us” at Kabul airport
As the situation in Kabul has turned deadly, those of us with military experience are wondering where the leaders are. We saw from Biden’s repeatedly disastrous press conferences that Biden can’t lead. The minute he’s pressed on anything except a softball question he literally tucks tail and runs. We’ve seen a lack of leadership from […]
