US deploying troops to Afghanistan to help evacuate Americans

[Desperado]

When we go to war we need to crush the enemy and impose civilization on them or stay the hell out. It's gonna be very bad for anyone who worked with the Americans.

No war should last 20 years, That right there is a sign of a failed experiment.

It's obvious military intelligence on the strength of the Taliban was way off. After being pounded by the strongest military in the world for 20 years you would have thought their ranks would be decimated. Amazing how this decimated enemy was able to march through provincial capitals and finally Kabul so fast.

Sooner or later a POTUS was going to have to make the decision to admit it was time to leave that hell hole. We have been waiting to see which one would have the guts and be willing to take the ensuing fallout and 'blame' for 'losing' Afghanistan. Guess we know now.

Where is the 3 to 5,000 Marine MEU, promised by Biden to assist in the evacuation of the Kabul Embassy/ Why haven't those Afghani's that worked for the U.S. being rescued?
This is the SNAFU, FUBAR and Cluster F****k since the fall of Saigon and only Bai Dung and his Progressive Marxist/DSA Dem-CPUSA administration should to eat that crap sandwich.

US military to help evacuate Americans from embassy in Kabul: officials

The US military is helping to clear out US citizens from Kabul. The NSA briefed Biden Thursday morning and he gave the order for evacuation.

The U.S. military will help evacuate Americans from the embassy in Kabul as the security situation deteriorates across Afghanistan, two officials confirmed Thursday to Fox News.
The plans to evacuate the Americans were briefed to President Biden earlier Thursday in order to get his approval, one official added. The military will evacuate "thousands" of American citizens and Afghan interpreters from Kabul.
"Things are moving," one official said.
A senior White House official told Fox News that President Biden held a meeting about the move Wednesday night, tasking his principals and then meeting with them again Thursday morning. The defense secretary and National Security Agency (NSA) also briefed Biden Thursday morning, and he gave the order. Biden separately engaged the secretary of state Thursday morning to discuss diplomatic strategy, the official said.

Earlier today, Afghanistan’s third largest city, Herat, located on the border with Iran, fell to the Taliban. The Taliban have also claimed to have seized Kandahar City, the country’s second-largest and the Taliban’s spiritual home.
With no U.S. military forces on the ground and very little assets overhead, the Pentagon cannot confirm Kandahar has fallen but officials acknowledge "it doesn’t look good."
U.S. military officers at the Pentagon tell Fox News the images of the Taliban taking over Afghanistan are "demoralizing."
"This is all melting down in a short period of time," one U.S. military officer described what is happening right now in Afghanistan.
While the capital of Kabul itself has not been directly threatened in the advance, the stunning speed of the offensive raises questions about how long the Afghan government can maintain control of the slivers of the country it has left.

Comment:
If they don't tow the line they get forced into retirement, i.e. Petraeus, Flynn, Mattis, McChrystal, etc. And this is just recent. McChrystal should know this well....
I was apprehensive when Trump said that he knows more than the generals. Trump knows nothing about military strategy. The generals do and he should never have insulted them like that and should have taken their warnings about Afghanistan seriously. While Bai Dung has continued to should the apex of incompetency in all he has done so far.
Well so much for Joey Xi's announcement yesterday that the Afghani government needs to fight for themselves and now the US military is going back into Afghanistan. Maybe Joey Xi should have thought this out before acting, but that would require someone in Bai Dung's administration to speak up and of course we can all see there is no one doing that.
Joey did a terrible thing. As soon as the Taliban started moving we needed to destroy them from the air. We have satellites watching everything over there. Trump warned the Taliban not to do it. Bai Dung has allowed them do it. I hope all of America sees now Joey Xi has exposed his incompetency further and along with his incompetent domestic and foreign policies.

In Afghanistan, a Blurring Line Between 'Bad Guys' and U.S. Allies

The U.S. relies on strong men to impose control on Afghanistan, a strategy that belies promises of establishing the rule of law and peaceful society

www.theatlantic.com

Two important stories about Afghan militant leaders have come out in the last few days. Together, they highlight a rather stunning, if unsurprising, aspect of the war: we do not really support the good guys. From over the weekend, the New York Times ran an excellent piece about the Haqqanis, a family of Afghan insurgents who also operate like a hyper-violent mafia:

With a combination of guns and muscle, the Haqqani network has built a sprawling enterprise on both sides of a border that barely exists............

At least those Americans who filled out their forms, provide proof of covid vax and wear their masks.

Conan the Destroyer said it well, "Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."
Definitely not part of the U.S. military doctrine..

US military doctrine is now woke we can no longer fight.

What Biden is doing is like trying to get your underwear on after you put all your clothes on. This administration and all the little Marxist assholes who are directing them all need to go. Bring Trump back.

Trump drew down the US troops from 13,000 to 2500 and released 5,000 Taliban from prison.

The blame game has begun over who lost Afghanistan.

The fact is, President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, were both eager to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and end what Biden referred to in his Aug. 16 speech as “America’s longest war.”

The Trump administration in February 2020 negotiated a withdrawal agreement with the Taliban that excluded the Afghan government, freed 5,000 imprisoned Taliban soldiers and set a date certain of May 1, 2021, for the final withdrawal.

And the Trump administration kept to the pact, reducing U.S. troop levels from about 13,000 to 2,500, even though the Taliban continued to attack Afghan government forces and welcomed al-Qaeda terrorists into the Taliban leadership.
