I hope they're enforcing the mask mandate and checking for vaccine passports.

Pearl clutches gonna pearl clutch I guess. This shite was always going to happen no matter how long we took to leave. Of course all over the media you see them saying how we should stay and how it was a mistake to leave. fricking Karl Rove was on Fox yesterday talking about how we should stay. frick the media and any concern trolls that are trying to suggest we go back

Does anyone, anyone at all find a problem with the freaking 82nd being completely surrounded by the enemy?
Yes. Everyone knows that you drop airborne troops in front of enemy lines, not behind them.

No one has said that, anywhere.

But nice job deflecting the utter frickup the current administration has made with the withdrawal.

I expect nothing less from a hyperpartisan sack of shite like you.

I'm sure you have some excuse as to why the President of the fricking United States took three days to make a ten minute statement to only disappear again.

Please, illuminate us as to how Biden is being a leader right now.

I'll fricking wait.

When I was deployed to Afghanistan we rarely said the word Taliban. We called them "TERRY" instead of Taliban.

They’re a Airborne unit, their entire mission is to jump into hostile territory and establish a foothold. They are SUPPOSED to be surrounded.

What’s the chances the bad guys try to shoot down a plane? I’m worried for our folks they’re dumb enough to go that route.

You don’t think this entire evacuation has been an unmitigated disaster by the Biden administration?

There’s a Famous quote by a 101st General during the battle of Bastogne McAullife’s reply to the Germans who had surrounded the 101st in Bastogne and were asking him to surrender. That reply, Aw, Nuts! We all know how that turned out.

I haven’t been to Afghanistan in 6 years but I don’t believe they have the weaponry to shoot down a transport Aircraft. The most would be RPGs

If they are checking for vaccine status then Fauci approves of the checkpoints.

The better question is how to get the Americans in hiding all over Kabul past the Taliban checkpoints and to the airport without becoming hostages or strung up on a street corner.

I mean they have fighters, Blackhawks, drones and everything the ANA had... I would bet they have Stingers too.

Alright, edited to correct what autocorrect thought it should have been.


Autocorrect is a poor excuse for posting like an illiterate.

I like how your partisan bitch arse ran out of this thread.

Go defend the current President who is too fricking good to speak to the American people while our fellow Americans are surrounded by the Taliban.

Maybe you'll "circle back around" tomorrow.
