Kabul madhouse

Exactly what'd I'd expect from our men. There was no doubt in my mind our soldiers were leaving the airport despite orders to stay. It's amazing that SF vets flew to Kabul and ran their own missions to get people out. Good on them. That's what what defines bravery. These guys are 'Merica AF. F'in heros.

Rumor has it that Black Rifle Coffee funded and chartered the flight to get them into Afghanistan. Apparently several of the vets are tight with Black Rifle.

That wouldn't surprise me. Evan Hafer had some pretty strong criticism of what's going on over there...

We’ve been in an active, engaged firefight with the Taliban for 20 years. How is it that nobody understood what was going to happen? Every E-4 that’s ever fought in Afghanistan — E-4 meaning a kid that’s probably the average age of 22 with it just above a high school education — knew this that was going to happen. So how is it that supposed professional diplomats and we’ll call it diplomatic, elite Military officers didn’t understand that. I’ll tell you why, because they’ve been disconnected from the reality of war for 20 years, sitting in board rooms with pressed uniforms and thick coffee tables, drinking Perrier, talking about what it’s like to fight a war. they’re not asking the right questions because they’re not warfighters. They’re empty suits that continue to espouse political ideology that has been failed over and over and over again. We can’t fight a war with politically correct agendas.

Read about the fall of Corregidor and Singapore and the bombing of the Beirut Towers and even a REMF can predict the future.
I'm guessing the parameter of Kabul Airport is similar to Colorado Springs.
Five entry points all crowded and a limited amount of good guys on the ground because its a withdrawal operation combined with a adhoc rescue evacuation.
Impossible to screen the outside parameter.
Why didn't crowd control reinvent the bayonet? Its been a impossible operation run by yes men.

So we did a drone airstrike on ISIS-K command post (?) East of the airport that supposedly took out the planner of the suicide bomb attack in Kabul.

I don't doubt that our military has the intel to track these guys down, just wonder why they let it happen in the first place and why they are holding back on throwing more punches!

Maybe the Taliban will see this and get the message.

On a side note, the UAV strike reminds me of the 2017 movie 'Drone'. A Pakistani man tracks down the UAV operator (in the US) who accidently killed his wife and daughter.

2 "terrorist" does not atone for this administrations actions that had trump done this . Would be on trial for treason. Besides 2 terrorist is nothing to them.

... Besides 2 terrorist is nothing to them.

Didn't two terrorists kill themselves in the attacks?

It's like we haven't learned anything since the Marine barracks was bombed in 1983. The terrorists are not only not afraid to die but gladly do so.

True. there's so many standing in line to strap that vest on. I believe they actually do a koran, burka, scissors, to see who gets to meet allah.
