After the Soviets left the country in 1989, they left behind many of those MI-28 HIND helicopters much like we left helicopters today. 

 

They flew for a few months and then just became scrap. No expertise to fix. No parts.

Pentagon confirms U.S. airstrike hit suicide bomber targeting airport

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/29/us-airstrike-suicide-bomber-airport-507211

 

 

 

With great respect for the lost personnel,  can anyone believe any statement from these guys.

I see protecting their butt. 3 days ago they were shocked and suddenly they know a bad guy is in a vehicle...of course to name or confirmation.????

What do you think?

I am in agreement with you sir.

 

The fact that they won't identify them sets off my alarms, usually they would be shouting it.

 

I am happy that we responded, but I am afraid that we only killed "Ahmad from Human Resources" and not those who were really responsible.

MORE TERROR IN KABUL

 

There was a rocket attack in Kabul earlier today that reportedly killed a child. Meanwhile, a U.S. strike took out a vehicle that was en route to the Kabul airport with “miltiple suicide bombers.” So apparently a more serious terrorist threat was averted for now.

 

Further, the U.S. Embassy has ordered all Americans to “leave the airport area immediately.” Given the short time available to complete the evacuation, it is not clear how the final stage will be carried out, since we have been told to expect further efforts to launch terrorist attacks against the airport.

 

Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to threaten our enemies:

 

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan thundered…

 

The idea of Jake Sullivan “thundering” is laughable in itself.

 

…that the US has shown in other countries that it is capable of ‘suppressing the terrorism threat… without a large permanent presence on the ground. And we will do that in Afghanistan as well as we go forward’.

 

 

 

 

Let’s hope so. Nothing about the events of the last few weeks creates any confidence that the Biden administration is capable of doing any such thing.

The new left have no qualms about lying. They are truly poet hungry evil people.

This is Marine Corps Sgt Nicole Gee from a picture she posted on 20 Aug with the caption, "I love my job!"

Rylee McCollum was set to come home to see his wife Jiennah Crayton give birth to his son. Now, that child will grow up without a father.

So is our military involvement in Afghanistan ending or not?

Do you still care about the kids at the border locked in cages?

 

You mean the tens of thousands of kids, versus the 500 or so "orphans" the media went into an Election frenzy over?   I guess its the power of large numbers, persons get lost in the shuffle.  If you're going to eff up, eff up REALLY BIG

You mean the terrorist attack on our capital by a bunch of zombie meth-heads climbing through windows and staggering around aimlessly?

 

No, no zombie meth-heads.  You must be thinking of another incident last year...

This is how you create terrorists.  Arbitrarily Killing civilians with drone strikes from the skies 
 

I’m sure those cold and calculating idiots just wanted an air strike on a bus they could call a us retaliation against isis hoping the truth would not come out.

 

Unbelievable. I feel extreme sympathy for any military parents whose children depend on these self serving  toolbags. 

Now blinkin doing Joe’s job trying to lipstick the pig congratulating the most enormous retreat in military history.
