I wish America would concentrate in cleaning up it's own yard instead of poking their noses in somebody else's yard.
Trump was trying to do that, but the US empire was not going to have any of it and made sure he was so-called voted out.



I know it is simplistic but that's what I wish.  We've been trying to clean everybody else's yards and look where we are now.
This is what happens when a republic allows itself to become an empire.



I read too much storybooks with "Happily Ever After" endings.  We need Knights in Shining Armor instead of the greedy evil bastards we have now.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

They haven’t figured out how to blame it on Trump yet
Pretending to be offended does not make you a good person.

Active duty makes sense. They cannot criticize the CIC. But retired?  I would show my DD214 and tell them F-U.

Tim Kennedy is in A-stan right now helping out.

Why not choose "the" source ....

https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Agreement-For-Bringing-Peace-to-Afghanistan-02.29.20.pdf
.

First. Comical. You chose a government source. Same government you don’t trust.
Assuming it’s the real document. Did you read it ? It’s like negotiating the exit of Viet Nam with the VC. Not even the north Vietnamese army.
We are going to sign an agreement with an entity we don’t recognize………

Marine Battalion Commander Fired After Blasting ‘Inept’ Military Leadership Over Afghanistan Withdrawal


A sitting Marine battalion commander was fired Friday after he slammed the "ineptitude" of U.S. military leadership over the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, saying he was willing to risk losing his 17-year career and future retirement pension in order to "demand accountability" from top military brass.

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller said in a Facebook post that he was relieved for cause after he posted a video Thursday saying military leadership let service members down during the bungled Afghanistan withdrawal. His video post came after a terrorist attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport on Thursday that killed 13 U.S. service members, including someone with whom Scheller had a close relationship.

"I have been relieved for caused based on a lack of trust and confidence," Scheller wrote.

That was fast. Meanwhile Vindham makes up a story he heard from someone else and nothing happens within 24 hours.

 Operation Pineapple Express rolling hard.. Damn sad that the retired warfighters have to go bail out the current military. Proof that the chain of command IS the problem not capable operators.

Other sources are reporting that soldiers at Kabul Airport are defying orders and assisting the Pineapple Express by letting the people they are bringing back on to the tarmac and loading them into planes.


This is going to make a hell of a movie.

Awesome !

But why would anyone announce that before hand. Wouldn’t it be better to announce that after?
Like the last time.
Last week of missions was semi heavily reported so tactics are semi known.

These guys are HEROES.

Supporters rally to reinstate Marine officer fired for viral video rebuking brass on Afghanistan

https://parler.com/#/feed/76be6f35-4e1f-4da2-9c3f-7221046586ad

Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller demanded answers from senior military leaders, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley.

Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller on Thursday posted a video he recorded in the aftermath of the deadly Kabul airport bombing that killed 11 Marines, one Army Green Beret, and one Navy corpsman, along with scores of Afghans. In the video, Scheller wore his  service uniform while issuing an extraordinary public challenge to his chain of command. Scheller calmly addressed the camera in what became a viral video that got him booted out of the Marine Corps on Friday.
