Today is Afghanistan's independence day so in Kabul . Women, men, girls and boys came out to protest, shouting "LONG LIVE AFGHANISTAN, OUR NATIONAL FLAG IS OUR IDENTITY!"

Good for the French!

I guess our fleet of vehicles was left behind when we pulled out... Since we've been told *we* don't have the capacity to go get Americans.

I'm sure this has been posted some years ago as it was made at a time when the ANA numbered about 80,000 and the narrator says President Obama wanted to triple that number. But it does present a stark reality of our guys trying desperately to train these Afghans how to be soldiers and failing miserably. Afghans are just too backwards, with many being drug addicts.

Warning - Execution

Remove space in link for direct link to video.

Translation of original video link
Retweet the video to reach the Taliban leaders !! The Taliban are throwing dust in the eyes of the people. Haji Mullah Achakzai was in charge of security in Badghis province. He surrendered to the Taliban and was martyred overnight. All Afghan commandos leave their homes and are martyred again.

Well the translation is certainly helpful because what I heard was:

WHO YANK 'EM OFF?

I YANK 'EM OFF!

That ****er Angelo thinks Tom Cotton is the bad guy, meanwhile his team is the responsible party for this *****

He's so anti-Republican that he hates on the guy actually helping to save lives. He's not mad at the people on his team who ****ed all this up.

His partisanship is blinding him.

Going back over Biden's speech we're not going to be gone by end of month
We're not going to get every US citizen out
We're going to be sitting ducks for one hot head foreign taliban fighter eventually or start killing afghani civilians as they get more and more desperate
The biggest thing I'm fearful of at the moment is someone puts a vest on and approaches our troops and detonates . The perimeter is getting probed more and more

As someone points out in the replies...

Imagine criticizing anyone, using any name, trying to get out of Afghanistan.

So male employees are doing the honorable thing and letting the others go first. Stiff upper lip, the bulldog - damn, what a people. Not perfect, but right in the moment.

Another day goes by without reporting (thanks to the media) of how many Americans are trapped and how many have been safely moved out of country. At least Carter tried a bold plan to rescue Americans in Tehran.

Yep. This isn't Great Britain and they are not ghandi. The taliban doesn't respond to peaceful protest. They don't have western values. They will end it by killing or maiming those who participate. They already have, according to some reports.

Can you imagine these people casually recording videos on their cell phone or something while the Taliban is close to them just firing off rounds. Takes some balls.

Hmm.



So I assume our intelligence gathering abilities were so impaired after the abandonment of Bagram that they were in the dark. The freakin' CIA.
