Wrong.

The government wouldn't lie.

Stop being pro-Putin.

We cannot allow another 4 years of this level of failure.

The stories my nephew told me about the last days in Kabul had many details that seemed to be omitted from any official account I have seen.

Holy shit even CNN is starting to turn on this administration.

I wouldn't call this "turning on the administration". I am also completely unsurprised that some dudes most likely engaged perceived or actual threats after the blast.

I am curious as to who would threaten the doc, though. Probably us trying to keep whatever tentative deal the admin worked out with the taliban from disintegrating. But, then again, that kind of shit was basically the talibans MO... threatening folks to achieve a desired outcome.

LoL, this BS court shit is just opening more eyes to the democrats corrupt ways. That is being used against the will of the county.

In the end it's desperate corruption will help Trump

Try talking to Democrat voting military members about the Afghan withdrawal. Many will rationalize it along the lines of "it had to happen one day" but I bet if this had happened under Trump the reaction would've been 180 degrees.

The coup started the moment he won in 2016. It will not stop.

They will not let him win again.

This is post-truth, post-democracy Lawfare America.

The Afghanistan pullout was an absolute disaster and regardless of Biden making the decision to pullout the way we did, those Generals should be ashamed of themselves. Beyond the Kabul airport bombing, do some reading on Task Force Pineapple or listen to some podcasts with some of the retired special forces guys who took part (Sean Ryan did an excellent podcast with the main guy who set it up).

Essentially the Afgan commando's around the country were abandoned basically overnight in the field on missions or not.  All their support was pulled, their bases emptied of US personnel and equipment.  By all accounts the commando's were excellent fighters and loyal US military groups they worked with.  Their families began to be killed pretty much immediately and they were being threatened with death by the taliban.  The retired special forces guys went back into Afghanistan and began to work with active special forces teams, marines, and others to begin pulling the commandos and their families to the airport to extract them.  They were still actively getting personnel out of the country after our pullout.  It's a total embarrassment to the US the way the clown of a president pulled out.

What an absolute shitshow.  Bad shit happens in War.   The Afghans are lucky most of the Marines were as disciplined as they were.   It could have been much worse.

Why hide the gunfire? Does it make it seem that the taliban were not being "peaceful"? Most if not all bomb attacks are followed by ambush correct? I know it sucks that this happened but  I dont understand the significance of finding gunfire during an attack .

Can someone do a short narrative? I can’t watch that stuff. I am not being snarky when I say it’s triggering for me. Tried to view it and didn’t make it far. I guess the war haunts me more than I thought it did.

What gets me are the number of junior O's and NCO's I witnessed get shitcanned and sent home because they'd done done multiple rotations in an area and knew the locals and terrain better than the non-Tabbed DEI BDE and BN hires they were subordinate to.

What you're missing is that Trump really doesn't need to campaign. Almost every single voter in the country knows where they stand regarding Trump. It's not like there are hundreds of thousands of undecided voters out there who are gonna say "well Trump's not campaigning so I really don't know where he stands on border security".

Every decision he made in the run-up was wrong, and most of his statements are either wrong or lies.

They didn’t have 4 years of Biden fatigue. Turnout won’t be as strong this year is my bet.
Weak enough to matter? Dunno.
