Is that a M240?


Yes.

No they haven't. Two different weapons. The M240 is 7.62mm, the replacement for the M60. The M249, known as the Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) is 5.56mm.

They didnt replace the 240, they replaced some of the SAW/249 with IAR/M27.

They went from a belt fed open bolt to a M16 style to make the load lighter.

Does anyone have a link to the video where the taliban is walking around an armory and there is a room full of money in blue boxes with a red cross on them? I cant find it, I know it was linked here.

Well that's just not true. Your CrimsonFever must have been the type that destroys cognitive function.

FB and Twitter ban conservatives left and right for "violating terms of service." Yet, Biden, who has been lying through his teeth ALL WEEK, isn't subject to Twitter's alleged war on misinformation.

Remove yourself from this thread, you add nothing. We're all very aware of the Democrat talking points -- or what well-reasoned adults call LIES.

The kids look happy. The radicalized adults, not so much. They're thinking 'frick these infidel US bitches, but let them save us first'....

The sources, however, said no Western government or official had approached the Taliban to extend the deadline.
The Biden administration is the kid that didn’t start the book report until the night before it is due.

That’s the best analogy to describe this I’ve seen so far.

Come on man, those adults know the gravity of the situation. Would you be smiling if jihadists were taking over your country? There are good Afghans and I hope they get to safety and help retake their country some day (internally without a US ground presence). If they want it bad enough they can overthrow the Taliban.

1. I don’t believe those numbers

2. Why can’t they tell us how many of those were Americans?

There are plenty of people at the airport, just not necessarily the ones we originally agreed to take. I believe the gates were closed yesterday because the inside of the airport was full and conditions inside were degrading.

I do question the numbers though and for good reason. Why would we believe anything this administration says after this last week?

Yes, and pResident clusterfrick and his crew are inviting them in with open arms. I can see inviting in the people who helped translate but not all.

What could go wrong inviting all those people in that are swarming our southern border and all sorts of people from AFG?

This is worse. This is like scoring in the single digits on a multiple choice test. You’d think the law of averages would mean you should at worst make a 25 on the test. It’s genuinely impressive how much they fricked this up that you start to question if it was intentional.
