Yeah it’s not good. My son is boots on the ground in a few hours over there. The main message of the briefing was “not another Benghazi” I said F that how about “not another Black Hawk Down”.

This is going to be a shite show like no other I just hope the regular guys stay out of the way enough my son and his fellow operators can do what they do best.

We carried that weight for years.

I think most agree we should have never occupied the nation, but leaving our allies to be overrun is just irresponsible.

Joe Biden is all doped up on dementia meds and sleeping half the day in Delaware. This is what foreign policy looks like without a commander in chief.

If your son is a SEAL I look forward to reading his book about this.

Biden took a two week vacation starting today and that doesn't bode well for how bad this is going to be imho.

We didn't learn a thing from Vietnam and probably the same with Benghazi. I suspect something very bad to happen in the coming days.

Just imagine how emboldened the Taliban is from this. Probably more emboldened than ever before. Which is quite unfortunate, to put it mildly.

This is a subgroup of them who got elected in 1974. But, yeah, same difference.

yall remember when we killed the SoD for Iran and went to bed like it wasn't a big deal? Iran was going to retaliate, but i wasn't even that worried about it.


now we're running from a government that's been in hiding for 5 years.

Biden is convinced that the flavor of his pudding each night is important.

Nope he works with DevGru guys a lot but he is not a frustrated surfer. I think there has been one book ever from someone who did what he does and that guy is looked upon as a POS for writing that book.

It’s not the 31st yet, is it?

Someone tell the Taliban, come back later.
