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



See folks this is the stupidity that all the liberals are screaming about and same dumb shite Biden said in his speech yesterday. They are trying to pretend like we are mad at leaving Afghanistan, when in reality, we are mad the process and way we left Afghanistan. There was no plan, military left before non military, big oooops, and an utter embarrassment. dawgfan and Biden know why we are pissed, but they keep trying to spin it into we are just pissed at getting out of Afghanistan, fricking pathetic.

If there is any truth to the reports about AC-130s on constant station over Kabul then our troops have some pretty massive air to ground back up. I am assuming of course that it is AC-130 gunships.(spooky) if that is the case those aircraft can pretty much suppress any force movement in an open area like an airport. Between the 20mm Gatling gun type guns to a 105mm cannon they can lay down some serious fire.

They have had the airport surrounded for a while. That’s why all the people calling for a bomb on the presidential palace when their leadership was concentrated were stupid.

They have it surrounded and I’m betting are pulling SIV applicants out as they arrive.

I posted a short video link below. It shows the AC-130 in action from the inside of the plane. Pretty neat.

Went to JM school (82nd AAS) as a recently promoted LTC. Most senior guy in my class. Surrounded by junior NCO and company grade officer students. They did not say anything, but the look on their face was "Damn sir, how many times have you failed this course?"

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.


Haven't you heard? The Taliban has agreed to allow safe passage

quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Taliban have agreed to allow “safe passage” from Afghanistan for civilians hoping to join a U.S.-directed airlift from the capital, President Joe Biden’s national security adviser said Tuesday, although a timetable for completing the evacuation of Americans, Afghan allies and possibly other civilians has yet to be worked out with the country’s new rulers. Watch the news briefing in the video player above. Jake Sullivan acknowledged reports that some civilians were encountering resistance — “being turned away or pushed back or even beaten” — as they tried to reach the Kabul international airport. He said “very large numbers” were reaching the airport and the problem of others was being taken up with the Taliban, whose stunningly swift takeover of the country on Sunday plunged the U.S. evacuation effort into chaos, confusion and violence.


Can you imagine...Hi, we're from the Taliban and we're here to help.

Taliban wants nothing to do with the 82nd, which is why they will keep their distance.
