I believe this is cash that was meant to be pay for ANA.

Sure makes me feel good to see my tax dollars in Taliban hands.

Per my brother, from what he's heard, he's already been relieved of his command.

Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul - been on this all night again w no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd soldiers at the gate, many are turned away & sent back to the Taliban.

From JBS XO:
The situation is worse. Details will come out shortly.

Commander 82nd refused to let AMERICAN CITIZEN women and children inside the wire. He wants a job after he retires. Six figures on the bones of American civilians. He would have pushed Jews in the ovens. https://t.co/9EwcQMN0FP pic.twitter.com/nuo4kDh0il

I know it's Russia Today but, I don't think there's many Western reporters on the ground anymore.



Looks like at least some of the contractor dogs left are going to be put to use by the Taliban.

Why are we allowing this? Our allies in the Panjshir Valley are currently fighting for their right to freedom and democracy, and we have armed the enemy. #afghanistan https://t.co/cQpxUj6x3H

Multiple Afghan & US veterans said it’s hard to imagine a more pathetic leader than one who bows to terrorists & betrays his soldiers, while abandoning their allies on the battlefield. Many say Milley/Mackenzie among worst generals in history.

They have illusions I think of using the Taliban to stir trouble up in Central Asia, in Russia, in China. They never learn. The only thing the Muslims/Afghans will do is use their ''handlers'' for their own purposes, which is world conquest.

The final act of the U.S. war in Afghanistan was a drone strike in Kabul that killed 10 people. Our latest investigation shows how a man the military saw as an "imminent threat" and "ISIS facilitator" was actually an aid worker returning to his family: https://t.co/eUX5WSImrD
