Wall Street Journal just reported 4 Marines Killed in explosion.

Biden should maybe now take different action.

Time to push back. The ****ed around. Now they find out.

Someone remind me how many combat deaths we had up until today? Heads need to roll over this

I believe there was one 18 months ago.

I don't see how many more civilians get out. The military itself there is a very precarious position. If the security of the airport is in jeopardy, no aircraft will land. Then what do you do with the 5000+ US + unknown number of other country military members?

Damn, this **** pisses me the **** off.

No US servicemen deaths in the past 18 months. From 2001 until this week, there were just under 2,500 American casualties in Afghanistan (contractors included).

There will likely be 4x that number of Americans abandoned in Afghanistan and we all know the likely outcome

Ground exfil to Pakistan is the only option in that situation.

Not a single one in 18 months and now 4 in a day because of Biden's incompetence. ****ing unacceptable

Biden's Lies Matter

The tactical situation was always stunningly bad and our options were severely limited from the get go. This could truly turn out to be a real siege. It is definitely in the realm of possibility. The only upside really is that Marines are no strangers to that and will acquit themselves well as they always do.

Just a question of whether the Taliban want to or not. The choice is entirely up to them. We aren't influencing a damn thing with them either.

Awful

How much ammo do they have?

This has been so ****'ed up since the beginning. Misstep after misstep after misstep x 23498729348723948.

As a veteran this is sooooo damn infuriating. I spent 4 years of my life over there in that hell hole(5 deployments 2 IQ, 2 AF), and now civilian and military members are losing their lives, and there are probably many more on the way. Such needless bull*****

If we leave all those American citizens there, it will be the worst military blunder in US history. Not to mention if the military members get stranded there.

This is utter bull***** This is absolutely a black hawk down scenario. Doesn't anyone in this administration have a freaking conscience?? I can't believe we're sitting on our hands with our fellow countrymen in need.

What a hopeless feeling.

They are leaving the civilians there


Now our soldiers are in danger of being stuck there

WTF?!?!

Biden is the COMMANDER IN CHIEF. He is in control... He set this disaster in motion.

I get that. My innocence died in Iraq and any chance of it coming back was murdered in Afghanistan. That was over a decade ago. And Marines are still dying in that ****hole. This has been some of the most frustrating weeks I have ever lived and there is absolutely nothing that says it won't get worse.

2500 KIA. I believe the total casualty number is 21,000

I keep seeing this number about total US citizens in Afghanistan at 4,300 or 4,100. Where are we getting that number? Not sayign I don't believe it, just curious where it is coming from.

I am hearing that there is another attack at HKIA's North Gate

The State Department is now claiming there only 4,100 Americans left in Afghanistan "actively seeking to leave." They say 4,400 have been evacuated, yet 7 days ago Biden said there were 15,000 Americans in country. So where did they all go? https://t.co/goqKPPOFNW

Fuggediboudit. The Watchdog Press only does the "Grim Milestones" thing when an R is in office.

So 4k+ get left behind

Thanks
