Effectively the first resignation — from a Marine who knew he could be fired and spoke out against the military leadership anyway.

Does simply telling the truth equate to "disrespect"?

Multiple outlets have reported the Taliban have taken control of at least part of the airport, but the DoD says otherwise. At this point, I choose to trust the reports from the ground, not what has been filtered through this administration.

I'm reposting this.

What Bobby just posted reaffirmed my decision not to trust anything this Administration is saying about the clusterfrick that is going on.

Reports from the ground have been much more solid and realistic than anything they have put out, anyway. So, frick em.

The Pentagon can deny it all they want. There are fricking pics and video that say otherwise.

Conflicting reports related to control of Kabul airport. TB’s Deputy Head of Cultural Commission saying airport’s military base taken over by TB. AFP quoted TB spox saying ‘parts of airport is now under TB control’, but Pentagon saying ‘airport is still under US control.’


This Administration and the leaders of our armed forces are wholesale lying to the people of this country.

They have not told the truth about anything. Anyone who defends this admin I will now consider mentally ill & or complicit.

Axios has a good article on Congressman Seth Moulton, but every time I try to load the article it freezes. Here is their twitter thread for it:

@axios

Rep. Seth Moulton recounts being at Abbey Gate two days before the attack: “I've never been more proud to be an American." LINK

Moulton on the criticism over the visit to Afghanistan: "I just really don't care...Those are the people I answer to, the people on the ground." LINK

I agree with this.

This Afghanistan situation is making me really hate anyone who voted for Biden. Not just dislike, but actually hate. Not a single goddamn Biden voter will denounce this disgraceful garbage.

I asked for any Biden voters to defend their boy earlier in this thread and got no takers. I guess they're waiting for the latest talking points.

Two of the Marines killed were from Riverside County in SoCal. One was the son of two Sheriff's Deputies.

Riverside, Redlands. Lots of patriots live there. My heart is so damn heavy today. Feels hopeless and very sad.
