Before they were allowed to leave Kabul in August 2021, having just lost 13 comrades to a suicide bomber, US Marines were ordered to pick up human feces and other disgusting trash at the airport so as to leave it pristine for the Taliban.


quote:

Marines at every level were infuriated at being “forced to scoop up human poop.” The order to clean “came with a threat that we would not leave at all if it was not completed,” one junior Marine told authors Jerry Dunleavy and James Hasson.

You always police your area before you leave. That’s just Marines being Marines.

It does look bad in the context.

Pick up poop, but leave all of our equipment behind. Let’s Go Brandon!

The powers that be wanted to make the troops wallow their nose in the ignominious defeat as they were leaving.

This was their punishment because the American people have grown weary of these perpetual wars of Empire.

If you or anyone you love is serving in the military, you need to realize that you or your loved one mean absolutely nothing to these power mad goons — NOTHING.

They were ordered to clean up after 12,000 Afghans, which is unacceptable and absolutely screams "political bullshite". I would agree with you if it was just them cleaning up after themselves, but that is not the case here.

Policing your area = picking up cigarette butts/trash in your AO.

Picking up human shite to leave the AO you’re leaving in “pristine condition” for an opposing occupying force? No.

I assume someone was being small minded and literal. And didn’t understand how it didn’t matter.

I’d be curious though, maybe it was a pride thing, or it stemmed from Washington’s fear, and their desire for everything else to go as smoothly as it could, under the circumstances.

This is infuriating! It's no wonder the military can't meet it's recruitment needs. Would you want to serve under this Biden administration??? I sure wouldn't.

True in a peacetime setting.

bullshite. Do you know the amount of "unpoliced" items we left behind at KHIA and other locations in theatre?

I personally have seen enough Simtex brought back unofficially to start a small war with. Most of it was used for some 4th of July shenanigans, but there is a tin of war equipment that was left.

This was Marines being humiliated by the military-hating left.

On Shawn Ryan’s podcast Tyler Vargas tells of vehicles they flipped over and graffitied with “frick the Taliban “ had to be flipped right side up and cleaned before they left.

They hate us and hate the military too. When is the military going to turn on these despicable politicians?
