US general tells British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabul, you're making us look bad
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 08/21/2021 3:06:27 AM PDT by sinsofsolarempirefan

I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter.

Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army's 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

I hope that Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue was told by the British Officer one word out of Combat history:

NUTS

This fits the narrative, but is it true?

General Rainbow Bricade wants to beat these goat humpers by laying down and throwing his legs in the air.

Now is the time for Patriots to rise up and take our land back from these immoral corrupt people

If true, this bastard needs to be paraded before a firing squad.

If true.

The British Officer’s reply may well have been “Who Dares Wins” - the motto of the SAS.

Isn’t it great that the Democrats have restored our nation’s dignity after Trump?

LOL

You know things are dire when the CO of the 82nd is whining about “being embarrassed.” China will kick our asses in ways we can’t add up when that time comes.

If true...

This is the new woke military purged of any officer with loyalty to the constitution or the IS citizen. I have long believed the democrat purges of the military leadership is to replace it with officers who will have no issue carrying out the orders to shoot US citizens on US soil. The democrats will have no problem issuing this order “for our own safety.” The democrats want the guns so bad it drives them insane. That is the last thing they don’t control.

When I saw the title of this post, I fully expected to find an article from the Babylon Bee.

Any article that starts with “I understand that..” is suspect.
