Journalists have long hated the military here. Goes at least back to Vietnam.


Further. In 1944 the Editor in Chief of the New York Times stated that if he had information on D-day he would have ran the story. When asked about that causing Allied casualties, he shrugged his shoulders.

Anyone can bash on American forces (like I've been reading about on MSM) but they are doing everything they can right now.


Cheers to them.
It's a HUGE gamble to overload a flight by that much.




MSM will do anything they can to prop up Biden, even blame the disaster on the hard working, lives at risk, military who are doing their best in a terrible situation.


I think Joes Regime has some truly horrific individuals in leadership positions, think SOY VINDMAN

And then realize the bar can go much much much lower given, merit or qualified no longer matters in woke clown world... so long as your lineup represents all the colors of rainbow we can exclude ranking up the best performers, the most competent and qualified

Remember the left have an absolutely ZERO or pis-spoor understanding of national security issues, its all about pushing their own agenda at the expense and turning a blind eye to external threats while become an internal threat, they don't even much understand foreign policy, in fact they majority probably don't understand why it matters because they've lived most of their lives in safety bubbles and believe its themselves who are the problem

Hence Obama's admins foreign policy distastes, just about everywhere on the globe its foreign policy was a complete failure, nonsensical, backwards, cowardly & defeatist, and the radical far left types???...lol ZERO understanding, unfortunately they're just looking at everything through an ideological lens and believe the world is every-bit as wonderful as their middle class privileged jelly & ice cream upbringing and safely wrapped mollycoddled bubbles, they're soft clowns who essentially believe everybody is inherently good, and foreign policy is the real evil, and then the barbarians are amassing outside their gates

Oh Yeah, we'll probably find out it was a gender neutral fluid queer that was recently installed for the military to appear WOKE AF that planned this and ignored solid intelligence and military planners advice because they were previously pro Trump or republican or something



Mark LaDrew. Current leadership more worried about being woke than protecting our country

Joe Biden is the commander-in-chief is he not or is it commander-in-cheat? This all falls squarely on him. Sad thing is with our open borders it would not surprise me to see the taliban in the U.S soon.

If you look at some of the people in key positions of the administration it is no wonder everything they do turns to crap. Although in fairness the deep state players have been there a long time doing their own thing. youtu.be...

Matt Zeller said Joe Biden’s speech was full of lies.

Zeller also said that he sent the Biden Admin plan after plan on how to evacuate people from Afghanistan safely and NO ONE listened to him.

Biden lied about how many people still need to be evacuated from Afghanistan.

Eight hundred was the crew estimate after they took off. The final count on landing was 640, which is actually below the record for a C-17, which was set in the Philippines in 2013 during the evacuation of Tacloban, when a C-17 launched with 670+ on board.

I just thought of something this morning. 640 sounds oddly specific, although it's possible it was just coincidence they hit on a number that was a multiple of 10.

Do you think it's possible that somewhere in the T.O.s for that a/c it says the max pax load is 640, so when they landed someone just pencil-whipped it so some dbag somewhere up the chain of command didn't get bent out of shape not understanding this was an extreme situation?

It's entirely possible that after the 2013 flight they said no more than 640 at any time, and that only under extreme conditions.

They screwed up the count. The final count was actually 823. They initially counted adults, but not children. They had 183 children on board that were sitting on laps that weren't counted to begin with.

Nice! Makes me proud to see USAF still getting the business done, even if our leaders completely blew it.
