It pains me how much I hate the people at the top of our government.
I love this country. I am proud of this country. I am so ashamed of what our country has become under our current political leadership.
This is not from the Babylon Bee:
US general tells British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabul, you’re making us look bad
Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army’s 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.
This show of rare tension between the U.S. and British command groups in Kabul reflects three factors.
First, it shows the obvious stress of attempting to extricate thousands of personnel under a situation of increasing terrorist threat. Elements of the Haqqani network, the Islamic State in Afghanistan, and possibly al Qaeda are now operating in proximity to Kabul airport with some degree of command separation from the Taliban.
In addition, the British military has more operational latitude in Kabul than the U.S. military, including the Navy SEAL elements present at the airport. I understand that the SAS has conducted operations to bring American citizens, as well as British citizens and at-risk personnel, through checkpoints and to the airport. This is not an indictment on U.S. capabilities or special operations intent, but rather, it’s a reflection of political-military authorities.
A bureaucratic tug of war between the State Department, Pentagon, and White House is also disrupting evacuation operations out of Kabul. This is aggravating British, French, and other Kabul-present military authorities.
We have elite infantry and special forces on the ground in Kabul. The White House and flag officers are holding them back and when our allies go in to rescue their people and our people, our flag officers tell them to stop because it makes our people look bad.
This makes us look worse.
Our allies are doing for our citizens what our military should be doing for our citizens but are not because our political and military elite are human dog shit.
Yesterday we found out the US Government was billing Americans for being evacuated.
Today we find out the US Government is hindering our allies from helping evacuate Americans.
I don’t want to know what we’re going to find out tomorrow because the one thing I know is that we have not reached peak awful with this adminstration.
Sometimes I believe Fragging should make a comeback
Don’t blame the soldier for a lack of integrity and balls on the part of “leadership”.
I don’t.
I’m sure that every solder E-1/O-1 through E-5/O-3 who has boots on the ground wants to kick in doors, canoe Taliban heads, and rescue Americans.
It’s the Generals and Politicians that are stopping them.
The other day, I said that i did not want to think about how Xiao Bribem, The Manchurian pResident, could make this any worse, because I was concerned that it would develop into a “Hold my beer and watch this!” moment.
And, it did.
Sadly, I suspect we may have a “What i saw at the coup” moment.
Perhaps Ms. Pelosi is curious about what a *REAL* insurrection would look like.
Because, I wonder if this sort of shenanigans is how you *GET* an insurrection?
So, you’re saying she’s “revolutionarily curious?”
If ever there was an officer urgently in need of a loaded pistol on his desk, that US general is it.
Just the other day one of the blogs I read — this one? — mentioned that while the Pentagon overhead has no balls, at least the head of the 82nd Airborne is a real soldier. Does that judgment still hold, or is the general mentioned here that head?
Everyone,
“I don’t want to know what we’re going to find out tomorrow because the one thing I know is that we have not reached peak awful with this adminstration.”
Steel Yourselves. Harden Your Hearts. It IS “Going to get Worse.”
And the murderous, cold-blooded Machievillean Biden Mis-Administration will continue to screw up, lie, delay, and abandon Americans, Allies, and Afghanis alike.
I fully expect to see smuggled videos of stonings, mass executions, sex slave auctions, and mass weddings of Taliban Fighters and their “war brides,” in the coming months. Not on US News, not on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or any Corporate US Media, but on British News, European News.maybe Chinese News, and independent US News and Media.
The Democrats will keep Biden alive, and even hide his demise if possible, until Afghanistan is no longer pumping out news of atrocities. Then and only then will he resign, so Kamala Harris can be sworn in as President “like a Breath of Fresh Spring Air.” A new leaf. A new beginning. All with the same old incompetence, this time protected by “You hate all blacks,” and “You hate all Women,” if you even dare to complain,

This “shitposting” is not what I mean by getting worse. Trust me, you will know it when you see it. When you wish you could un-see it.
