  1. Biden talking ballsy about hunting down ISIS and taking them out.

    If only he were as good at killing ISIS and Taliban as he is at killing Americans and Afghan civilians.

    Taliban kill squad hunting down Afghans — using US biometric data

    The Taliban has mobilized a special unit, called Al Isha, to hunt down Afghans who helped US and allied forces — and it’s using US equipment and data to do it.

    Nawazuddin Haqqani, one of the brigade commanders over the Al Isha unit, bragged in an interview with Zenger News that his unit is using US-made hand-held scanners to tap into a massive US-built biometric database and positively identify any person who helped the NATO allies or worked with Indian intelligence. Afghans who try to deny or minimize their role will find themselves contradicted by the detailed computer records that the US left behind in its frenzied withdrawal.

    Fathers of Marines killed in Kabul attack rage against Biden, brass

    The fathers of two Marines killed in Thursday’s suicide attack at Kabul’s international airport have expressed outrage at the US government’s handling of the withdrawal of American forces, with one claiming that President Biden “turned his back” on his murdered son.

    “They sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security,” Steve Nikoui, the father of Kareem Nikoui, told The Daily Beast. “I blame my own military leaders … Biden turned his back on him. That’s it.”

    Steve Nikoui told the website that he was notified of son’s death by a group of Marines who showed up on his doorstep Thursday evening. The elder Nikoui said he had stayed home from work after hearing the news of Thursday’s attack and had been “glued to the TV” waiting for any word of his son.

    ‘Pineapple Express’: US vets volunteer to secretly rescue allies in Afghanistan

    A group of highly trained US military veterans has been secretly rescuing hundreds of allied operatives from Afghanistan — volunteering over fears those allies would otherwise be left for dead, according to a report.

    The weeklong secret operation dubbed “Pineapple Express” has been carried out by a group of special ops veterans including retired Green Berets and SEAL Team commanders, they told ABC News.

    They were driven by deep frustration “that our own government didn’t do this,” former Navy SEAL Jason Redman told ABC.

    “We did what we should do, as Americans,” he said.

    They initially formed to rescue an ex-Afghan commando who was getting death threats from the Taliban for having worked with US special forces and elite SEAL Team Six, ABC said.

    After the Taliban’s target and his family of six were rescued, the task force continued rescuing Afghan allies — and has so far helped at least 630 get through the deadly ring of steel outside Kabul airport to safely evacuate.

    They normally smuggled people into the airport in the middle of the night, either one person at a time or in pairs.

    Really low class thing to say about the military while men and women are serving right now to accomplish a very dangerous mission.

    False. The decision makers at the top get to tell everyone else what to do without putting themselves in harm's way - they will still get to retire whether they resign or otherwise, and live their good life. The underlings get fired if they say anything, or they die - that is the ultimate STFU coming from the top.

    They don't care.

    Everything is happening according to plan.

  9. Fuck you and your bullshit support for these no good cowardly cocksuckers at the command level. I've addressed this before with your stupid, intentionally obtuse ass . The "Troops" which I fully support and respect are an entirely different breed than these cowards at the Pentagon. Fuck them, and fuck your phoney ass too.
