Anyone know how many fit on that helicopter?
Evacuated?!?
But… but Plugs ASKED them to leave our embassy alone when they came a plundering..
He asked them NICELY, in between licks on his ice cream cone!
On CH-47 Chinook helicopters the main cabin can hold up to 33 fully-equipped troops. For medical evacuation, the cabin can accommodate 24 litters (stretchers).
On the Black Hawk helicopters 11 fully equipped combat soldiers in an assault-ready configuration, or 14 in a maximum capacity situation. Maximum troop carrying capacity is 20 lightly equipped personnel.
This is so sad.
we need to focus on our freedom, not anyone else’s freedom
Biden very carefully said that we will not SEE helicopters evacuating people from the ROOF of the embassy as in Saigon. He thinks that we will not see it because the Propaganda press in the USA will not publish it and the helicopters will not be evacuating from the roof but from the grounds. Perhaps Biden does not understand that there are lots of ways to broadcast now besides the USA’s MSM.
Thanks. Long time to move 5k people to airport.
The left isn’t willing to give their lives for what they are doing.....
This was evident during the riots last summer when on two or three occasions someone with gun fired shots and the riot evaporated.
Here in Fayetteville, NC, the rioters were breaking into the JC Penny’s at the Cross Creek Mall when some fired a mag into the air or the crowd and the looting ended as everyone ran away.
The left are not Taliban. They are more like the Afgan’s we supported. It a half dozen parrots decided to take on illegal government employees in one or two cities in 50 states the DNC would cease to exist under the Rule of Law, or Justice for All Equally melted out.
He’s on vacation, and on top of that he has also put a lid on today. He’ll check back in tomorrow.
Plus the fact there is no way they would try to land a Chinook on a roof - way too heavy!
Who is going to send helicopters to rescue American patriots from the communist takeover in the USA?
What rooftops should we climb onto here in the United States for our airlift out?
Who will accept us fleeing American refugees from the tyrant thugs who have taken over America?
Yup!
That’s what really amazed me. And the guy interviewing Blinken was clearly disgusted by Blinken’s totally LAME responses to his questions.
Probably reminded him of the nursery rhyme, “winken, blinken and nod”.
“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese Army. They’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstances where you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the United States from Afghanistan.” — Joe Biden, quoted in The Hill, 8/13/21
The word has come down to the chopper pilots from ON HIGH: "No picking people up off the roof!"
So technically and legalistically it's a true statement.
Is that the US embassy or a Hotel ?
Afghanistan — From someone at Embassy: All Americans out. Landed in Doha. Local nationals left behind.— Michael Yon (@Michael_Yon) August 15, 2021
Now all we need is John Kerry to throw his climate czar medals over the White House fence.
Kerry’s still a commie, right?
