The Department of Defense released photos of Afghan citizens boarding a “US Air Force C-17 Globemaster” at the Kabul Airport this week.
The US Department of Defense posted the photos online.
But it wasn’t real.
The planes were from the UAE. The woke Department of Defense put up photos of the wrong plane.

You can see the UAE insignia on the side of the aircraft; a rondel.
Afghanistan evacuees are a fungible commodity when it comes to political theater.
this WOKE military that armed the Taliban,
LOST everything, left 20000 Americans behind enemy lines,
deliberately lost/gave up
to attempt to BLAME on Pres. Trump.

they should not be in charge of a potato gun.
Well heck! The American troops being bombed in Syria by Russian bombs, according to journalists ended up being a plot of land in Kentucky. Really.
wasn’t listening carefully, but Tom Cotton on Hannity just said Biden officials briefed a congressional? committee saying 4,100 Americans were still awaiting evacuation in Afghanistan a short time before the claim it was only 1,500.
25 Aug: Breitbart: Report: 4,100 Americans Remain Stranded, Many ‘Not in or Around Kabul’
by Wendell Husebo
A Senate aid(e) revealed Wednesday 4,100 Americans remain stranded in Afghanistan, many “not in or around Kabul,” CNN reported.
About 4,400 Americans have been extracted in President Joe Biden’s deadly evacuation, “but the remaining 4,100 will be more challenging, the source said,” before the Taliban-enforced deadline in five days. The State Department has denied 4,100 is the exact number stranded

State Department: About 500 Americans contacted in past 24 hours and given instructions to depart
From CNN’s Jake Tapper...
In a briefing to congressional staff earlier today, a Senate aide told CNN the State Department said that at least 4,100 American citizens are still actively seeking to get out of Afghanistan. The source said not all the Americans are located in and around Kabul...

The DoD has been on this downwards slide since the idiot clinton was elected. This was all but inevitable.
That much is true. It started with “Don’t ask. Don’t tell”.
If they’re expecting to have a factual number from Biden, then good luck with that! You could throw any number in there and have a chance of being right!
The level of confusion is so epic that I wonder if some of it isn’t intentional. It’s like there’s an information smokescreen making it hard to tell what’s really going on over there.
About the misidentification of this particular plane, could it be a head fake to make Taliban commanders consider the possibility that some of the military transport aircraft flying in and out of Kabul are being operated by Sunni Muslim nations? I could imagine that causing some second guessing about the wisdom of, say, deploying a MANPADS, maybe.
FlightRadar24 has shown several air forces’ aircraft in Kabul. Turkish, RAF, Royal Australian Air Force as well as USAF. Right now at 2:24 UTC it shows no aircraft in Afghan airspace. I realize that military aircraft may have turned off transponders.
Here is a flight map. The planes have been coming from Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Australia, UK, Italy, oh now there are some from New Zealand, and the US.

Clarissa Ward, CNN correspondent, “on the ground in Afghanistan” Except the clip was actually in Syria.
Around 1993, Clinton somehow? got the laws changed and shifted the sales of such technology and weapons to the U.S. State Department which was now staffed with his appointees who would approve anything Clinton requested to any country Clinton wanted, for whatever price (and cut) Clinton wanted.
The DOD never gave a whimper about this horrible and dangerous decision.
