I keep seeing the fall of Israel in World War Z when I see stories like this. No doubt many heroic tales to be told of normal people put in an impossible position
FB post from my mate that served at Khandahar
Received a message from the CEO of the military contractor that I worked for in Afghnaistan (and still do part time from home) -
And the few friends that were still working in Kandahar and a few of the outer bases that were still open; -
I am so happy to report, that all Americans and third country nationals were all evacuated safely.
But Kandahar is a long way from Kabul 
THANK GOD!!
So, the Yanks got everyone out when they abandoned Khandahar?
What about the local staff?
Biden is getting a load of shit from the US media including CNN
Itās almost like someone said to him āTrump was the worst President that we have had in our historyā and Biden saying āHold my beerā¦ā
Itās a massive fuck up from him, and this soon into his Premiership - he may never recover from this.
Its a way of getting him to resign and the Vce Lessie to take over.

Itās a massive fuck up from everyone after 2001.
There was never any justification for going in. The Taliban of the day shat themselves and offered to hand Bin Laden over.
Biden was carrying out and implementation of a Trump plan based on an Obama initiative. If anything, I admire him for having the balls to do it. The long term consequences could be beneficial to the world as US citizens agree with him and are much less keen on being the worldās policeman.

Managed the disastrous first withdrawal from Iraq as VP, and as a result Obama had to go back in to restabilize the region
Apparently shouted at Obama, āyou are not sending my son back thereā when Obama committed troops again
Now with have this chaotic withdrawal - get out at any cost and fuck the Afghans who fell from the plane because āthat happened for or five days agoā
I think the bloke has a yellow streak running through him
What a shame people in 2001 werenāt as spineless and didnāt take the Talibanās offer.
