New video evidence uncovered by CNN significantly undermines two Pentagon investigations, the latest of which was released last week, into an ISIS-K suicide attack outside Kabul airport, during the American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.
The incident was a gruesome coda to America’s longest war, leaving dead 13 United States military service members and about 170 Afghans who were desperately seeking US help to flee the Taliban takeover of Kabul. For two years, the US military has insisted that the loss of life was caused by a single explosion, and that troops who reported coming under fire and returning it were likely confused in the chaotic aftermath, some suffering from the effects of blast concussion.
But video captured by a Marine’s GoPro camera that has not been seen publicly in full before shows there was far more gunfire than the Pentagon has ever admitted. A dozen US military personnel, who were on the scene and spoke to CNN anonymously for fear of reprisals, have described the gunfire in detail. One told CNN he heard the first large burst of shooting come from where US Marines were standing, near the blast site. “It wasn’t onesies and twosies,” the Marine said. “It was a mass volume of gunfire.”
An Afghan doctor who spoke to CNN on the record for the first time said he personally pulled bullets from the wounded, and with his hospital staff counted dozens of Afghans who died from gunshot wounds.
Combined, the new evidence challenges the credibility of the two US military investigations and raises serious questions for the Pentagon, which has continued to dismiss mounting evidence that civilians were shot dead.

I'm more surprised at the timing, but 'biden' is mentioned NOT ONCE in the piece.
I’m shocked any time we manage to drag the truth out or these bastards.

Another day another lie coming from the Pentagon, like you said, it’s more common for them to lie to the public than tell the truth.
It’s not just the Pentagon, it’s the entire Federal Government, the level of lies and propaganda is so over the top it’s no wonder this country is beyond repair.
When Trump wins, perhaps he should replace the current general staff and court martial the previous one.
Was it lack of military discipline in a chaotic situation with allied troops firing at will, willy nilly??
This is outrageous!.....................
They don’t care we the people don’t trust them.
We constantly see these lies coming from this administration and people think they can believe the economic data it releases.
The Milleys in the pentagon can cover their asses any way they want. I trust those who were there. Had Biden not set the entire s#!t show in motion this never would have happened.
This article is a deliberate distraction from the POSPOTUS who deserves the blame.
Austin and Milley need to be brought up on charges along with every staff member they selected.
bttt
Makes sense - this IS CNN afterall...
...........it’s getting to the point where any officer rank above 2nd Lieutenant simply cannot be trusted.
If you are a colonel or general, you are just another democrat politician.
The geniuses in the Pentagon can’t figure out why their recruitment numbers are way off.
Let’s go Brandon!
Let’s go Democrats!
That was my take once seeing that 'biden' was found to be omitted entirely from the piece.
We all know that the zero accomplices are responsible for the jackwagons at the Pentagon. I don't fault USMC for a trainwreck withdrawal operation and the CYA which followed...
...but someone obviously decided that they needed to shield xiden from further critique once the bodycam footage was released, resulting in this 'hit piece'.
See you later.....
Chamberlain’s visit to Munich....
Fortunately, our younger generation is intelligent enough to realize uncle sam
does not have their back in war faring times.
