Something Suspect about this tweet.

First that is a commercial airliner, and the aluminum, flag-draped "transfer case" would have arrived in the US first at Dover in the C-17 all at once together as they always do, be it one casket or 20

Second that is a wooden casket, they don't transport KIAs from the battlefield to Dover in wooden caskets. KIA's remains are packed in ice inside an aluminum, flag-draped "transfer case" and transported by military cargo planes Normally C-17s.

As I mention before the remains the Charles C. Carson Center for Mortuary Affairs at Dover AFB and that's not Dover.

Also proper protocol for Rendering Honors is not being followed. By strict tradition, the remains travel feet-first whenever they must be moved, they are draped with the US flag with the Stars always over the head for the KIA. This tell me that this KIA in this video is likely footage of someone's remains arriving by commercial airliner at some local airport and a makeshift Honor Guard thrown together to handle the casket. Strict Protocol call is followed to the letter at Dover rain sleet snow or hail. There's simply no way the AFMAO at Dover would be this sloppy especially after the 2011 debacle.

I'm saying this video isn't of the KIA in Kabul.

Looks like it is old video from over 4 years ago.
Sorry, I can't vet every Twitter post. But Twitter is just as reliable as US media when it comes to footage.

our community lost a good kid from a great family.

Hunter Lopez of Indio killed in Afghanistan bomb attacks (desertsun.com)



U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Hunter Lopez, 22, was from a family with deep roots in the Coachella Valley. He is the son of two Riverside County Sheriff's Department employees.

Quote:
Capt. Herman Lopez, Hunter's father who commands the Coachella Valley's Thermal sheriff station, has worked for the department since 1997. He serves as the police chief for the City of La Quinta, which contracts with Riverside County Sheriff's Department for law enforcement services. Deputy Alicia Lopez, Hunter's mother, has worked for the department since 2001 and is board secretary of the labor group. She was the recipient of the Rick Espinoza Distinguished Service Award in 2017 in part because of her willingness to provide a kidney for a young boy in need of a transplant due to a medical condition.
RIP

So senseless and completely unavoidable.

Unfortunately we will likely see dozens, if not hundreds, more faces of soldiers and or us citizens whose life will be taken too soon from this reckless and haphazard evacuation. Like most, im pissed, but i know there isnt anything we can do about it, other than voting these despicable politicians out of office in Nov '22 (and pray that election is not rigged too)

Notice the narrative is no longer about trying to save actual citizens but just as many Afghans as possible.

Dual citizenship now appears to be Afghan citizenship only. I think the taliban made this demand we our fearful leader obliged.

My god, I don't know what language that was originally written in, but it was clearly translated by Google Translate or some other software. It took me a second to figure out why we had destroyed "onerous drives".

Ahead of his deployment to Afghanistan, Kareem Nikoui was stationed nearby at Camp Pendleton and often visited home on the weekends, bringing along "10 or 15 other Marines" with him, the dad told the website.

"My wife and I felt very honored that [since] these other boys weren't around their homes, that we were able to provide some sort of family life for them," he said.

On Friday night, Steve Nikoui criticized the sloppy execution of the US evacuation, and claimed his son and his fellow service members were caught in a "turkey shoot."

"Basically, it's funneled into like a single-file type [of] entry point at which, you know, if you have any sort of chaos of any sort, they would all gather to that one funneled area [in] which they would all be susceptible and I think that's exactly what happened," he told Tucker Carlson. "It was just basically so chaotic and not really planned out. Now, I'm a carpenter and even I could spot that with my untrained military eye."

The elder Nikoui was more blunt in an interview with the Daily Beast, saying US officials "sent my son over there as a paper pusher and then had the Taliban outside providing security."

"I blame my own military leaders Biden turned his back on him. That's it."

The day before Kareem Nikoui was killed, he sent his dad a video that showed him talking with Afghan children and giving them candy at the Kabul airport. Steve Nikoui said Friday that the clip put him and his wife "at ease to where we felt like, he's all right."

"He was born the same year it started [2001], and ended his life with the end of this war," Nikoui told The Daily Beast in reference to the Afghan war.

"I'm really disappointed in the way that the president has handled this, even more so the way the military has handled it. The commanders on the ground should have recognized this threat and addressed it."

This could not have been handled worse.

Suicide bomber in the frisk lines was my #1 fear.

Now #1 fear is that they take down a plane.

They took out a planner. You know, the small calendar book? They'll never be able to coordinate again!

Worth the listen, what our former military are capable of doing is badly needed in DC. Just a few guys and how they support teams dedicated to freeing those in Afghanistan. Amazing listen.
