Service dogs left behind myth has been killed by people over there posting on military Facebook pages. They are saying any dogs left behind were from contractors the military had no oversight on... Seen this posted a few times with pics and numbers....This was a screwed up way to retreat from a war zone. I'm hearing there at least 300 Americans that are stuck behind enemy lines tonight and almost 50 service dogs.
Nothing to be celebrated to be sure.
This is not the guy responsible, the responsible ones are Blinken from the State Department and higher up aka President and the joint chiefs along with a couple others like secdef. MG Donahue is not in charge of the withdrawal, he is in charge of the response force that was sent at the last minute after this shitshow started.So this is the asshole responsible for our people and dogs being left behind?
Very true!! No amount of mental health care will get you over that betrayal of your fellow citizens. We will see reverberations from this for decades imo.I would have defied orders and let them in, period. I also would not leave all the dogs, period. If something went wrong down the road I'd take responsibility, but you couldn't tell me not to let American passport holders through that gate, or to leave dogs whether they are soldiers or contractors.
I've heard it several places that the Marines turning people away would rather be in the worst combat conceivable than do the job they were given. They are going to have terrible scars from this forever while all the people who did it will give themselves medals.
We don't have all Americans and Afghans out!! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...ho-we-wanted-to-get-out/ar-AANUGqb?ocid=ientpSo riddle me this Batman.....if we have all Americans and Afghan friendlies out, why are we not bombing/destoying the shit out of Bagram and any other base, known weapons staging areas, etc.?? What? are we afraid of offending the Taliban because they are our new BFF? I'm also seeing on Fox that our shitbirds in DC may release billions of dollars in Afghan assets to them because they are the now de facto government and thats in addition to the pallets of Benjamins that we already left behind.
Something about this whole debacle stinks to high heaven.
That mother fucker was not elected.what he achieved by being elected to the highest office in the land
Yeah, I know. I was just being a little facetious.We don't have all Americans and Afghans out!! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...ho-we-wanted-to-get-out/ar-AANUGqb?ocid=ientp
Someone should write a book about how the State Departments political appointed dumbass along with a president screwed up the withdrawal of Americans, American partners, equipment and money!
Blinken Confirms U.S. Left Hundreds of Americans Behind in Afghanistan | National Review
The last U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan flew out of Hamid Karzai International Airport on Monday.www.nationalreview.com
They left behind Americans!
Sorry, didn't catch the "facetious" .Yeah, I know. I was just being a little facetious.
lol..ok, keep telling yourself that....That's not what anyone who lives in the real world will tell you, to include 98% of elected Republicans. If you believe otherwise you've done one too many packets with Mike Lindell.

LOL!!! You are a fucking moron who is brainwashed to keep repeating, "there is no evidence of fraud", which is a complete lie. There isn't "proof" of fraud YET, but that's because of fucking morons like you who believe everything they're told without question and are totally uninterested in how Biden got elected in the most improbable election in US history. If you can be fooled by some fourth grade, lawyer, word games. You should elect not to post and prove how uninformed, brainwashed you are.
As @mcameron points out there is VIDEO of the democrats cheating and running the counting machines in the middle of the night with no oversight!!! VIDEO! Caught red handed cheating, and dumb motherfuckers like you still pretend there is nothing wrong...
Go be a moron somewhere else. You have the whole rest of the internet. We just have here.
Bless you for all you've done. I still wonder why we left all the gear and bases behind intact. As I said something stinks. It's got to be more than just incompetence.Sorry, didn't catch the "facetious" .
Having done more than a few ramp ceremonies and NOT checking my watch, this is very frustrating to see how we fled Afghanistan.

If he was the last “soilder” out then he was absolutely responsible especially considering his rank and pulling power.This is not the guy responsible, the responsible ones are Blinken from the State Department and higher up aka President and the joint chiefs along with a couple others like secdef. MG Donahue is not in charge of the withdrawal, he is in charge of the response force that was sent at the last minute after this shitshow started.
I agree.Bless you for all you've done. I still wonder why we left all the gear and bases behind intact. As I said something stinks. It's got to be more than just incompetence.
You are right, I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt until I read some more recent accounts. I am not at all happy about any of this, it just sucks! To put it nicely.If he was the last “soilder” out then he was absolutely responsible especially considering his rank and pulling power.
I don’t care what the puppets in Washington called for this is the guy that made the decision to execute them.
I will also say this Biden a piece of shit no doubt, but he’s just the puppet that signed off on somebody else’s devious plan.
I'm being told those are rescue dogs from some good Samaritan outfit, not service dogs.Not true statement. Our dogs are still there. DAMN IT.
I tried consoling one of my guys who is also frustrated. I told him that it is about the small victories, we showed Afghani's what they could have. We planted the seed. Drinking from that pool is their own choice. We'll see what happens, but that was a lot of "blood and treasure" lost and we loose more daily with veteran suicides which I suspect will now spike since a lot of these young soldiers feel betrayed and that it was all for naught.I would just like to say this I am so proud of all of the people who have served in the military. The average American citizen owes you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. I thank you for the sacrifices y’all have made. As an American citizen who never served in combat. I always supported our troops even though I didn’t really agree with the reason we were over there! God bless you and your family’s. Hopefully history will show us that y’all’s sacrifices have not been in vain.

The amount of evidence is overwhelming.That's not what anyone who lives in the real world will tell you, to include 98% of elected Republicans. If you believe otherwise you've done one too many packets with Mike Lindell.
Donahue himself has posted on the 82nd site that no service dogs were left behind. If he's lying......God help him.I thought it was a good samaritan outfit trying to fly them out but they are short of cash to do it. Plus there's some weird rules about bringing dogs back from that part of the world (IE Rabies).
OK reading part of it they had "rescue" dogs and they also had 46 "working dogs" that belonged to mil/contractors etc and most of the dogs were brought to the airport to be flown away in a plane that they had paid for but instead the animals were "released" into the airport and the plane wasn't allowed to land. So now the people who are still there have to depend on the good graces of the Taliban to get themselves and the animals out of the country.
Feb. 16, 1989... General Gromov leaves Afghanistan.
View attachment 7694801
And this is the attempt of the British to withdraw in 1849... 16,000 brits left Kabul in Feb.
View attachment 7694802
Out of the 16,000+ about 4 Britons and a handful of sepoys made it back to India via the Khyber Pass and other routes. The painting shows the last stand of the 44th Foot which was destroyed to a man with the rest of Elphinstone's army.
The only solution for Afghanistan is to put a wall around it. Allow weapons and ammo in. Nothing out.
But China will happily loot them for lithium... give the terrorists money for their Jihad. And as they protected Bin Laden, the Taliban will protect the Chinese mines. Count on it.
Meh... as long as the soldiers know they won all the engagements... while the politicians, lawyers, media and anti-American Commie civilians lost the war... they will hopefully come to terms with the great job they did while being totally hamstrung by a political and military leadership that didn't deserve them or their sacrifice.
I'm just too angry for words right now. So I'll leave it at that.

PS As for Maj. Gen. Donohue... If he has any honor he will speak out. Or put a pistol in his mouth. But my guess is that he is headed for a third star and will be given the job of heading Gender Transitions in the Airborne and will be made Chairman of the JCS for his expertise in Don't Ask Don't Tell. He isn't a Major General these days without litmus tests since he was a captain in 2008... or would I be wrong?

And the same people who protested and betrayed our men in Vietnam... are behind this. Now they aren't little hippies with bullhorns. Now they are Senators and cabinet members and Network Executives and Professors and policy wonks... and billionaires who think that the shining path of Woodstock socialism is going to make the world a utopia.Vietnam redux.
From what I can tell he is not lying. The left behind dogs were from other countries contractors.Donahue himself has posted on the 82nd site that no service dogs were left behind. If he's lying......God help him.
