This is brewing up to be the Jihadi Super Bowl. We need to be flying everybody out ASAP. Total insanity flying in an ad hoc force that will be lacking in heavy equipment and top cover. This won’t end well.

so 4k in Kabul at present?

Correct. Another 1k on the way and at least 2k more in reserve. The 2k is ready to go. They are waiting for orders and transportation ... just sitting and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting.

Joe’s sending in a crack brigade of cross-dressing social workers.

Wait till the Taliban sees the paperwork they need to fill out to take the capital!

Pashtuns actually will be aroused by the cross dressers... may be a good distraction. We need to strap parachutes on several thousands trannies and push them out over Tali positions.

Good info, thanks. Any plan to get them OUT?

The country is disintegrating. It’s hard to see the embassy and airport functioning in a day or two. These troops are sitting ducks. Prayers up for them.

Weaponry. Night vision goggles. Drone. Rotary wings

I heard from an old contact about the hand to hand at Benghazi.

Send in the perfumed princes and admin leeches, but bring our men home.

Do we have 5k warriors. Young gentlemen I knew who were going to sign up now have no interest in this twisted military force of wokeness.

In all honesty, it looks like the same plan the 101st had at Bastogne in WWII. But this time there is no reason for it. They are fighting to allow Muslim POSs to immigrate to America. It is a total Charlie Foxtrot. American Embassy staff could have left on Thursday, but instead they sent 1,200 Muslims to Ft. Lee, VA.
