Not if the Taliban doesn't let us. Maybe they gave Brits permission? Pure speculation, tho.

I don't think that's the issue. There were reports today that things got heated between our guys on the ground and the SAS. Our folks didn't want them going out and rescuing their folks for some reason.

What commercial pilot wants to fly into that war zone???

You'd probably be surprised. Alot of those guys are retired military.

Saw some tweets about. I mentioned it, but didn't post the tweets I saw. Haven't seen much since.

I really have no idea what has me obsessed over it like I have been. Hell, I'd usually be in the hurricane thread. Something about this whole shitshow just has me almost captivated. I don't know.

It seems we have a lot of don't want to. I'm not going to speculate on it any more.

Tells them we want to leave. We are not leaving until all citizens and d Afghans we want to take are accounted for whether that takes 2 weeks or 2 months.

We are going out to pick them up. Taliban better stand down and stand aside. Any Americans die in the process we are bringing 100,000 troops back and will stay another 20 years and kill every taliban alive.

It’s their choice let us get our people out and leave or we will go back to war and stay another 20.


You can’t make a threat when everyone knows you are a coward.

It’s like those weak parents who let their kid get away with everything for 16 years and then make a big thread about being home for curfew “or else”.

The kid laughs and walks out because he knows the parents have no guts or will to attack.

Maybe not the ones who would actually be going out, but people higher up. It was reported by multiple outlets today.
