Disgraceful

U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official.

I thought they didn't know who or how many were still in Afghanistan?

Might have played a factor but so did Trump's agreement formalized the arrangement ...



I find it ironic that MAGAts complain about the 5,000 when their lord and master was the fool that negotiated their release.

That deal was not honored but it is also immaterial - those prisoners were spread out all over the country and the Taliban was liberating them as they took over provinces.

The jailbreak that led to the collapse of Kabul was at Parwan prison and it had nothing to do with any deals. The guards were told by the Talibs that they would be spared if they walked away. So they did.

The same Taliban Biden* is entrusting to keep Americans safe as they trek to the airport?

Not necessarily true. I questioned the backlash against Milley but I understand and agree with criticisms of his performance.

See - I can be objective.

But if he’d quoted a pro-Trump general you’d have been on his ass for that and you know it.

Not necessarily. I just asked a question and you two got triggered.

I’ve always like McMaster and Kelly. I like Flynn too until he went full Qtard

You have better sources and more expertise so I'll take your word on the release of prisoners and the collapse of Kabul.

Regardless (I thought about using irregardless here for sh!ts & giggles), I will continue to find it funny/ironic when BDK, CG, etc. quote someone complaining about the release of 5,000 prisoners when Trump's agreement explicitly authorized that exact number.

Where did I quote someone about the release of 5k prisoners?

On a day the US military suffers its worst attack in a decade, this is what the Sgt Major of the Army tweets out.

We are so fucked..

It took Biden 8 hrs to comment on yesterdays attacks. And for the most important press conference of his presidency, and probably his entire life, he was 25 min late..

Have you ever had to get someone with mild dementia ready to somewhere? Even the grocery store is a major expedition. I can only imagine prepping them for an important speech.

It's what we get when the only people we elect to POTUS are old ass men.

You know this world is topsy turvy when you and I are in 100% alignment on this. What a goat rope.

I thought Biden was more of a hair man.

“Mild”?

What level of dementia does he have, Dr. Z? Still a better choice than Trump based on cognition alone.

You're right...my mistake.

It's a shame that private citizens have to do this.... Good on these vets for going above and beyond for their fellow man

A group of American war veterans in Kabul are secretly saving hundreds of Afghan Special Forces troops and their families who helped them in the war but have now been left for dead as the US withdraws from Afghanistan.

The group of special op soldiers includes retired Green Berets and SEAL Team commanders who launched the mission, which they are calling Pineapple Express, after one of the Afghan commandos they served with contacted them to say he was on the run from the Taliban. His visa had not been approved when the Taliban took over on August 14 and thousands ran for the airport.

The special ops soldiers first devised a system with US troops at the airport where they sent their comrades to a gate and told them to identify themselves with the password 'pineapple' to be put on a plane by the Marines on the ground. Some also showed the troops pictures of pineapples on their phones.

Awesome story. I bet a mix of current contractors, and guys who haven’t strapped it on in a while. Probably a plane(s) & some gear provided, but I would guess unpaid. These guys I’m sure don’t seek fame or fortune, but would be cool after this is over to see them get some recognition.

This'll make for a great story / movie one day.
Yup - I hope their mission is complete b/c the code word is out.

Could have changed the codeword by now.
