    I didn't know there was a "Taliban fighting season" and a "Taliban not fighting season". I have heard a couple of times on the news that this is the prime fighting time for the Taliban- that if we would have waited a few more months the Taliban would have retreated into Pakistan for the winter and we would have had plenty of time to make the exit without it looking like the total chaos it is. What is even worse is that now they are better equipped than they have ever been because the now have all the weaponry and mobile equipment that we have ferried over there over the last 20 years to fight this battle.

      Not being handled the best but we needed to be out of there at least ten years ago. There isn't always a morally right or good answer. Those people were doomed the second we got over there. With that said we arent out of there. Another Army Division has been deployed but not before we seceded all ground back to ISIS and the Taliban.

          As an article in this morning's WSJ put it, "The administration and numerous pundits insist there is no 'military solution' in Afghanistan - well, the Taliban seems to have come up with one"

            The video has been deleted, but here is a screenshot I took of the video.

            This plane was taxing down the runway to takeoff!

              It was bad for sure. This may get worse.

                Absolutely awful the men and woman that spent time over there the last 20 years that were injured or lost their lives but we need to get the heck out of there. Billion of dollars lost, thousands of live lost and all to be canceled out in just months.

                Get our people home.

                  No way Biden should get a free pass on this one...
                  But Hey, his voters are not having to deal with "mean tweets" from the oval office.
                  so they have that going for them.........

                      We spent trillions there freeing them from the taliban and training their army.We left millions of dollars worth the equipment and weapons for them to fight with and they collapse within a week!There President ran off with carloads of money and we are gonna send troops back in to evacuate our people,spending millions more in the process.All I see is mainly fighting age men fleeing!These people are cowards and the only thing they understand is a tyrant.Countries like this need to be run by warlords and they always will,there’s no amount of money or lives we can give to help them.I feel sad for the women and children but the men are cowards!

                        No one can hold one with a plane traveling several hundred miles an hour, no oxygen, and near freezing temps as they climb. Most of those were blown off during takeoff. Sad state of affairs. Now someone in the Skunk House told Joe biteme to send in more troops so he’s sending 1,000 paratroopers in now. Hmmmm. How we getting them out? We were down to 2500 when Trump was President. We’re now back up to 7,000 people.

                          Our intelligence agencies have been very busy lately……busy working on CRT and WOKE recruiting adds. It’s understandable why the three letter agencies had no clue what was coming. SMDH!

                            I don’t see what then up roar is about? It’s not like Biden was sending out tweets that hurt people’s pansy *** feelings.

                              A lot of my exact thoughts.
                              Why leave them any munitions & equipment , the cowardly sheep will just drop them in the sand & run. Probably even willingly walk to a ditch to be shot in the back of the head.
                              D*** bleeding heart liberals are setting the whole world on fire.
