It appears that retired/former US Special Forces folks pulled a daring operation out of their arse with cooperation from active soldiers inside the wire of Kabul airport to rescue Afghans who fought along side us.......

quote:

With the Taliban growing more violent and adding checkpoints near Kabul's airport, an all-volunteer group of American veterans of the Afghan war launched a final daring mission on Wednesday night dubbed the "Pineapple Express" to shepherd hundreds of at-risk Afghan elite forces and their families to safety, members of the group told ABC News.


quote:

Dozens of high-risk individuals, families with small children, orphans, and pregnant women, were secretly moved through the streets of Kabul throughout the night and up to just seconds before ISIS detonated a bomb into the huddled mass of Afghans seeking safety and freedom," Army Lt. Col. Scott Mann, a retired Green Beret commander who led the private rescue effort, told ABC News.


So this brave team led by a retired LTC SF guy did what the whore-filth Biden cowards wouldn't lift a finger to do.

Sorry but its a yahoo link, which surprises me, but this story is amazing.

Story here...and believe it or not an ABC news reporter knew

Go listen to Lara in the Beck thread. I am shocked the State Dept didn't nix this. Maybe they went rogue of even there own govt?

After learning this...

They may have had to go rogue from Bidens State Dept.

Yeah, the scum probably will; Also, When reading the story, I got the impression that they were in contact with active duty soldiers or marines inside the wire of the airport, and those soldiers inside the wire helped slip them inside. I hope those active duty guys don't get in trouble for daring to act like an American; with this piece of shite of "leadership" we have, ya never know.

I know for a fact they establishment will try to either squash these stories , claim they were exaggerated, or suggest that those involved actually did something wrong, putting others in harm's way, blah blah blah... I'd like to be wrong, but we'll see.

It’s true. It is also true they were using a rat hole near Abby gate and that is where the suicide bomber clapped off.

Saw a podcast before that happened that mentioned the Pineappld Express group. There are several groups of vets and concerned citizens working to get people out. One had over 300 people involved, AlliedAirlift I think, at the time of the podcast. A group of West Point grads was working to get some Afghan army officers that had been classmates at West Point evacuated.

I'm not shocked that it's true. For all the shite being spoken (much of it rightfully so) about our woke/weak/CRT/SJW/LGBTQ military "leaders" now, I have always had faith that many rank and file combat arms tip of the spear type leader still hold their oaths close to their hearts.

What shocks me is that how did this story get past the (of ALL sources) Yahoo news "editors"/censors/socialist party members to be published?

thats what I was thinking. Lets rescue the people that folded and gave up on their country and leave our people hanging. I guess the diversity and equity training is paying off.

For you and the poster Blueboy that you responded to:

I get your sentiment, I really do. I can already tell you and he will probably never agree with what I'm about to say:

"....folded and gave up on their country and leave our people hanging..."

Nope....these folks they went after have MORE than proven their mettle, and are vetted. They have fought, bled and died along side our guys, and at more than great risk to themselves. Our guys at the end of their tour get to go home back to the land of the big PX (Walmart). They are left in their huts, knowing that when they helped us they put their entire lives and families lives at risk. They earned it.

The folks they went after are not the pieces of shite of the ANA, who just sell out to the highest bidder.

And if a bunch of former or retired AMERICAN Special Forces and Warfighters who were on the ground there some time in the past twenty years think that those people were worth going after, then I'm going to take their word for it a lot more than yours.

Have either of you ever served? Just curious.

We’ll said. I can tell you they probably have not served. Those are the ones who usually have all the answers and the dumbass comments.

My buddy who’s about to finish up his terminal leave sent this to me tonight. Worth a bump.

These are American heroes.

I would think they were fulfilling a promise, repaying a debt or being a true friend to someone that was their ally at great peril to themselves.
