The Pentagon has Ok’d more troops to head to Kabul to stabilize the nation.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

WASHINGTON (Reuters)—The Pentagon authorized another 1,000 troops to help evacuate U.S. citizens and Afghans who worked for them from Kabul, a U.S. official said on Sunday, after the embassy warned the security situation at the city’s airport was changing quickly.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the addition brings the total number of troops in Afghanistan temporarily to 6,000. The soldiers would come from the 82nd Airborne Division, which had been on standby.

Residents reported sporadic gunfire in the area of the Hamid Karzai International Airport, the main point of evacuations out of Afghanistan, as U.S. troops aided the departure of U.S. personnel after the Taliban entered the Afghan capital.

“There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place,” the U.S. embassy said in a security alert.

The situation in Kabul is not over and escalation could be seen within days.

Don’t leave anything that can be used against our military. Complete failure on Biden and his advisors. We need Trump a real president

I don’t believe herr Biden is capable of giving any orders. This is Nancy and Schiff.

Too little too late. Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance. All this is on China Joe, Lloyd “Affirmative Action” Austin, Gen. Mark “Thoroughly Modern” Milley and Anthony “Winken” Blinken “and Nod”. What a bunch of losers. These idiots don’t give a damn about the American people.

Biden’s decision is not working out well. It is an indication of how stupid this moron really is.

There’s never enough time to do it RIGHT but there’s always time to do it OVER. At the incalculable cost of thousands of human lives: our support personnel, our faithful, trusting allies, our genuine friends. I have ZERO confidence in this FALSE administration., God forgive them: I never can.They are a puppet figurehead for the shitehouse Bamster, who has a solemn pact of support with his Radical Muslim Brothers.

Instead of dribbling a few troops in here and a few troops there, put at ;east 20,000 ground troops in, a bunch of planes and 20-30 special operations teams.

Get the job over and done with and leave a substantila peacekeeping force there. Just like we have done all over the world.

PS – I have two G’sons on active service, both SEALs and both ready to go – IF THEY ARE ALLOWED TO FIGHT LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO FIGHT.

Big war number four is gearing up and when it hits it will make the entire war on terrorism look like nothing . So we had better not be caught out of position which what this may be about. Art of War and all.

So instead of removing all people and equipment with the troops leaving last, these idiots decided to have the troops leave first. Now they must go back in a hostile environment with their lives and the lives of those they must rescue, at risk. Who voted for these people? Anyone could see Biden was compromised.
You didn’t like Trump? So what? He was competent and he kept us safe. Feel safe now?

Poor old Joe sounds a lot like Hillary: ‘At this point, what does it MATTER?’ But I feel sorry for the poor soldiers, like cleaning up after an explosion in Joe’s Depends and putting their lives on the line while doing it.

Personally I feel that the military is now somewhat compromised. Any military family and men and women serving who voted for this poop commander in chief, I’m sadly disappointed. Hopefully this is a wake up call. I was not around during Vietnam, but this looks like Bengazi all over again. Nothing came of that. Hitlary is still eating well and living in expensive homes. I saw the ABC interview with corrupt joe.
It was a disaster! Only God can help us now.
