Here we go complete failure of command from the POTUS on down, pondering which flavor of terrorist is killing you while you sit with your thumb up your ass? Wouldn't you rather get a court martial for disobeying the POTUS than get one for getting your men killed?

Imagine how the news media would react if this was under Trump's watch.

ISIS claimed responsibility.  All but wiped out under Trump, now they're back.

“Known for his hawkish views on foreign policy, McMaster portrayed Thursday’s attacks as a vindication for his sharp criticisms of Biden’s decision to pull out the troops by Aug. 31, as well as what he has called former President Donald Trump’s “surrender agreement” with the Taliban in February 2020, which paved the way for the U.S. withdrawal.

McMaster said he was not speaking as a partisan and that there was plenty of blame to go around among multiple U.S. presidents. But he was especially withering in his assessment of how Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo conducted their negotiations with the Taliban. The president and secretary in effect decided, McMaster said, “Hey, we’re going to sit down with the Taliban and essentially negotiate our withdrawal. Afghan government, stay on the sidelines. What did that do for the legitimacy of the Afghan government? ... Then what did we do? We forced them to release 5,000 prisoners — for nothing.”

At this point, McMaster continued, “it’s time to reverse course.” He then called on Biden to scrap the troop withdrawal, extend the perimeter around the airport, create other safe areas in Afghanistan where civilians can be protected from the Taliban and even “engage” with anti-Taliban resistance groups that have begun fighting in the northern regions of the country.”

Former Trump administration national security adviser H.R. McMaster

McMasters was fired by Trump for trying to subvert his agenda. McMasters was responsible for appointing a bunch of the people who later stabbed Trump in the back. Like Vindman etc. He is garbage.

 Can the lack of leadership get any more disgusting?

Pentagon CENTCOM commander Gen. McKenzie expects more attacks on #Kabul airport and says the U.S. reached out to the Taliban to "make sure they know what we expect them to do to protect us."

U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/26/us-officials-provided-taliban-with-names-of-americans-afghan-allies-to-evacuate-506957

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that's prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.
The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.

To the American military heroes who died today, May the Lord be with you, Rest in Peace.

To the Loved ones of these heroes, May the Lord hold you close and give you strength.

I will continue to pray for the safety and return of all Americans, military and civilian from Afghanistan.

Steve Bannon's War Room had a very important message yesterday.

If you are a vet and this is really bothering you then don't try to tough it out. Find someone to talk with about it

If you know someone who might be struggling then reach out to them and let them know you are there if they need you.

I have no idea what it is like but can only imagine this must be bringing back some pretty awful memories for those who spent time there over the past 20 years.
Pretending to be offended does not make you a good person.

here we go, they are going to force him to resign so they dont have to 25A him and expose the fact he was never competent and they all knew it.

Give the Taliban names and locations of people to "rescue". What could go wrong...

How much more does america let biden and his people get away with? But all G cause no more mean tweets.
