Yeah idiot military pilots running over civilians. They were just following orders though.
Really unbelievable what a cluster**** this is. How difficult would it have been to say we are drawing down our forces. When we leave we haven’t decided yet, but it will happen. We have a procedure if you wish to leave the country if you are American or part of the western group of people and have visas, etc. We suggest you leave now as the timeline of our complete withdrawal will not be announced.
If you are Afghan interpreters or others that have worked closely with the USA there is a procedure for that as well. If you are part of the Afghan military the weapons we have left and the training you received will leave you capable to fight the Taliban after we are gone.
Then you spend 2 to 4 months or whatever while we still have our military bases and airpower to protect us, have our military troops and police to keep an orderly process while our people leave the country.
I am shocked to hear that we have 10,000+ Americans still in Afghanistan. And now with the airport shut down - that’s a lot of Toyotas to try to get across the border.
And the planes taking off among the crowd, reminds me of cars trying to get out of a mob of BLM protestors attacking them. I’m just glad those planes didn’t suck somebody into an engine and crash on take off.
Yeah, the problem was the C-17 pilots. That’s a thing a coward says from far Y.
