Send EVERY PLANE WE HAVE over there and get those people out NOW.

 

Sort out the damned paperwork later, when they're safe. 

 

There is still a chance to salvage this disaster if we just get the people who helped us out of the country.

I'll believe it when I see it. There's no reason to trust these people. If I were a woman in Afghanistan I would be terrified. 

 

 

 

 

Despite their words of conciliation, there is almost no chance they don't at some point have reprisals against the people who helped the Americans. Even if it's locals doing it "on their own," their lives are still in danger and we have a responsibility to get them out.

Our taxes paid for that Humvee.

 

Good thing we didn't waste that money on something stupid, like universal healthcare.

Ok,  you can’t f#&%ing disable equipment before you leave them?  Throw a grenade in the front seat?

 

This is directly on the military. Take the keys with you?

Is that a billboard for TaliBull, the famous energy drink that helps you murder and rape for up to 5 more hours than Baners that did not drink it?

CNN had a report that mentioned seeing no women in the streets of Kabul. They are staying inside. Also heard 70% of the population is under 30 years old. We have been there 20. Many young people haven’t been under Taliban rule.

1000s of Americans left in Kabul told to shelter in place. Anyone here remember the Iranian hostage crisis? Let pray that doesn’t happen again.

Again, equipment left for the Afghanistan army, not the Taliban.

Not if they are running away...unless they left a bunch of Nike running shoes.
