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.
Yes they have channels and knowing ihome's involvement here if they can get out it is going to be a private extraction not a military extraction. He said there are so many Americans trapped outside the airport that the military is will not be able to save a lot of Americans because the US military doesn't have the resources or strength in numbers. He said he has been in this situation before and was always successful until a situation in the Congo went south and then he felt like it was his fault it went south so he sold his stake in the company.

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.
Every bit of this and all of it in general makes my heart hurt and my stomach turn. God bless ihome and I hope his people get home soon.

How does anyone get in there through private channels? And F Biden and whomever else for not having backup plans all the way to Z.

Does the c-17 even have windows other than the cockpit?
Could it be a camera behind a small glass window so that pilots get can get a view of that part of the plane?

wingcucks on this site would be critical of Biden if he brought peace to the region
Well, we know for certain the Left was of Trump. Multiple peace deals signed, Israeli embassies opening in Muslim countries, and nothing but criticism from the left over it.

The dudes legs reminded me of spaghetti and so I criticized this fiasco of an evac the the famous Eminem “mom’s spaghetti” song.
But yeah, let some rhymes bother you. Are you not critical of this travesty occurring? It’s fricked up and should be roundly mocked.

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.
There will a lot of Westerners who just "disappear" and are never heard from or seen again because they were executed or the women sold into slavery.

Farid Zakira on CNN just said the only way Biden can save this is to do what we did with the Vietnamese boat people and take in everyone that wants out.
Biden is sending aircraft carriers right now, he is just trying to figure out how to get the carriers to Kabul with all that sand in the way...

I am still wanting on an answer to my question about why the State Department and the DOD did not have multiple bugout plans ready to execute a moment's notice.

He’s going to airlift the carriers with thousands of helicopters.

You know I'm not super upset with DoD. They just follow orders.
Now this Admin and the State Dept on the other hand....

If anything that should be mocked it’s you and your dumb poems. I bet you’re fat and have a neck beard.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and international connections. If a Senior level Taliban personally vouches for someone's safety and says you are a friend then you are normally golden because no one will touch you unless you end up in a rival warlords hands. The key it sounds like is you have to find out who in control over the neighborhood/area and that can be tough.

glad you guys were able to circle the wagons. For a second I didn't think an adequate defense was going to be constructed
Nah their main play will be consistently saying exiting was the right thing to do. Everyone, even Trump agreed it was time to bring our people home.
They will ignore the how.

I’m ugly too. And I smell bad.
But I’m not the one dooming thousands of people to horrible fates because of terrible policy. So I’ve got that going for me.

Have to research in TM 4-48.09 what the chain link count is on an aircraft carrier.
