Thought about that alot as these images have been rolling in...I gotta imagine the people holding onto planes as they took off are super uneducated and have no idea how fast and high planes go. In their minds they were probably holding onto a train in the sky


Exactly.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I will ask here:

Besides the flight where some people fell off, has there been any further flights out?


That is the bottom line here....are people getting out via flights from the airport?

The Democratic Party (and their water carriers in the media) are a Death Cult. They celebrate abortions and decry when a woman chooses to keep the child. During the Bush Administration, they had a daily orgasm telling America how many servicemen dies that day overseas. Strangely, as soon as BHO got elected those reports stopped. America's cities look like Omaha Beach and Democrats revel in the carnage knowing they can manipulate those voters by convincing them the Party is the only hope for salvation. Now, they inflate or outright fabricate statistics associated with the Chinese Flu (500K+ ) to justify shredding what's left of the Constitution and forcing people to get an experimental and fairly ineffective shot. Nevermind all the people who died or suffered from other maladies who were denied access to medical care because of the Big Brother lockdowns. A small price to pay for power.
They are a Death Cult.


That's a very good assessment, IMHO.

Right, because it was fine on page 192 but on page 193 it’s disrespectful

Writing about it is, not the fact that these fricks in power are letting the tragedy happen.

I spoke with ihometiger early this morning and according to him those Americans and other westerners who ARE NOT at the airport ARE now actually hostages. For those lucky enough to have kidnapping insurance coverage there are negotiations going on with the Taliban to secure their release and for those who do not have insurance it will be up to Joe Biden to fork over billions in ransom.

ihome said last night his friends told him they were hearing gun shot after gun shot as Taliban went into their neighborhood looking for identified collaborators killing them and their family members. They told him the roads were relatively traffic free because there are Taliban checkpoints everywhere and that the guys were unsure how they and the NGO charity aid workers they were protecting from the US who are women would last. They called their wives and children in what they think might be the last time any of them will ever speak to them alive. They have Satellite phones and said theere is no communication with the US Gov't at all right now as it is a directionless quagmire with no assurances or suggestions other than to just keep hiding.

I hope these worthless politicians die painful deaths and rot in hell because of this.

This is much worse. In '79 Carter at least tried something and Reagan came in after the '80 election. We are looking at at least 3 years of being an international laughing stock. Any idea how rapidly the world can change and how drastically over 3 years? China most likely will take Taiwan in the next 6 months, Russia will take Ukraine inside a year. The next president, even if he is Eisenhower, Reagan, and Patton combined will not be able to reset the world stage. It will have been in place for too long and be the "normal".

I served with and was trained by guys who were on Operation Eagle Claw/Tabas. These guys were a great group of men who did what they could when Carter gave the order. If fact, my primary instructor was the guy who went in and placed the strobe lights near the highway in Iran for the landing strip. Some bad arse shite. They would be rolling over in their graves (those who have passed) and those alive must have several broken TVs around their house from throwing shite.

ihome is former special forces who started a private security and logistics business years ago and sold the company a few years ago. He has 7 former employees (all special forces) from Louisiana & Mississippi he personally recruited and brought on who were working security for a women's charity the last few months. ihome is back in Louisiana but is in communications with them trying to help figure a way for them to get out.

If anyone can get them out without government support it would be ihome as he and Erik Prince are very close.

Serious question - does he have channels to make sure their location is known?

My son's unit won't leave if at all possible with them there. I currently can't reach my son, but if your buddy doesn't have comms to the chain I may through some congressmen I know.

That plane looks like a C-130 designed by Kailas called the Hard Rock and Mayor LaToya is watching it all in 1st class.

The Pentagon just gave a press briefing and it sure sounded like they had no plan for getting anyone out that was not at the airport. Of course, they may not want to disclose that either. I do suspect large sums of money will be needed to ensure each every persons ability to leave.
