Stuart Galbraith Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/marine-family-slams-biden-meeting-scripted Family of Marine killed in Afghanistan slams Biden meeting as scripted, a ‘total disregard' to Marine's death "You can't f--- up as bad as he did and say you're sorry," Marine's sister said of Biden The family of one of the Marines killed in Afghanistan last week slammed President Biden’s meeting with the Marine’s pregnant widow as scripted and a "total disregard" to the service member’s death. Biden traveled to Dover, Delaware, on Sunday to attend the dignified transfer of the 13 service members killed in Kabul's suicide bombings last week and meet with their families. Jiennah McCollum, the pregnant wife of Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, alongside the fallen Marine’s father and sisters, were scheduled to meet with the president, but only Jiennah ended up speaking with Biden. Roice McCollum, one of the late corporal’s sisters, told the Washington Post on Sunday that she, her sister and her father all refused to meet with Biden because they held him responsible for their fallen Marine’s death. Jiennah’s meeting with Biden did not go over well, though, with Roice saying the pregnant widow was frustrated after briefly speaking with the president. Roice said the family felt the president’s conversation with Jiennah was hollow and lacking meaning, and said Biden appeared to show a "total disregard to the loss of our Marine." According to Roice’s account to the Post, Biden spoke about the service of his veteran son, Beau Biden, and his death from brain cancer — a topic Biden also brought up while both addressing the nation after the deadly Kabul suicide bombing and speaking with the new prime minister of Israel. "You can't f--- up as bad as he did and say you're sorry," Roice said in regards to Biden. "This did not need to happen, and every life is on his hands."It disgraces the name of all those who have fought in the past and who are now on ground, foreign ground fighting right now, my son's [82nd] Airborne is still there, and they deserve to be protected," Knauss continued.

sunday Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 https://www.michaelyon-online.com/now-the-us-military-abandoned-women-and-children-at-the-airport-gate.htm Quote The Taliban — yes, The Taliban — guarded one family for hours. Waiting for the U.S. military to open the gate. That’s all they had to do. The Taliban can take the military any time they want it, so it’s not as if openly the gate presents special hazard. This matter was brought up tp the Join Chiefs. Someone in our group got it all the way to Milley. Milley left them behind. Only one Officer in the entire U.S. military stood up. And that Officer is the Greatest Officer in the Entire United States Military. From which, I heard while we were working rescues, that LTC Scheller resigned. With honor. I personally know of 49 American men, women, and children, all near the gates now — and there are three empty civilian aircraft sitting for them on the tarmac. Just minutes from the gate. I repeat for clarity. So that you know it was not a mistype or misstatement: Taliban took four of the Americans, guarded them for hours until the mother told Taliban to leave her and her children by the gate. They are at the gate right now. Right. Now. Now I will try to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R011 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The government couldn't keep all of that working without foreign contractors paid for by the USG so the Taliban will likely have some trouble too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afghan commandos could fight for British Army like Gurkhas (msn.com) This is brilliant, which is why the idea escaped the current crop of gold braiders in the Pentagon and the WH.

We could form a 'Moslem Battalion' like the Soviets did. Highly useful for operating in the Sandbox. I wouldnt get your hopes up though, it will probably fall over from the defence budget and the Home Secretary's less than enthusiastic welcome for refugees.

'Look at me ma!' etc etc. Keep checking Tiktok. Of course it doesnt make the Taliban new and reformed, they just tend to make sure all their retribution is not on camera.

BansheeOne Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I for one think hanging by helicopter would be a brilliant development of the Pinochet concept and finally provide a job opportunity for all the respective t-shirt wearers with the Taliban.

Stuart Galbraith Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) You know surprisingly little about Romans. They were hiring Auxillaries in England near from the start of the Roman invasion. I gather the Romans didnt have much in the way of light cavalry, and the locals here and in the rest of Europe were highly skilled in that field, so they were hired as light cavalry. Archers too IIRC. Rather than end the Roman Empire, they arguably enabled it for well over 300 years. Did the Gurkha's end the British Army occupation of India? Zouaves end the French occupation of North Africa? Hardly. Edited August 31, 2021 by Stuart Galbraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, and with the possible exception of the Blackhawks, the equipment captured is lower tech stuff that it wasn't worth air lifting out. I'd heard reports of captured AH-64's (which would be stunning), but I'm starting to think those were false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Id be curious to know how they got those out. They may have slapped some long range tanks on them and flew them out I guess. yeah, I would guess the AH64's were almost certainly a misidentification of UH60's. If they had to leave any behind they would have demolished them, either on the ground or from the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikkiyn Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 What of the electronic tech inside? did they pull it out or is it a tech boom for Chincom and Russia? What type of radios were left behind? did they leave the encryption modules? what else did they leave which could almost insure a bad day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
