Pentagon officials are confirming that despite the U.S. withdrawal, drone strikes continue to be ordered in support of the Afghan army.
“I can say that in the last several days, we have acted through airstrikes to support the ANDSF, but I won’t get into technical details of those strikes,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said at a briefing on Thursday.
Three of the most recent drone strikes have targeted U.S. equipment that had been transferred to the Afghan army and abandoned when the Taliban approached.
How much of a clusterfark is the withdrawal from Afghanistan becoming? Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley had been assuring the public that the Afghan government could hold against the Taliban despite the enemy’s progress sweeping through the country. He didn’t sound quite so confident at a press briefing on Thursday.
“Strategic momentum appears to sort of be with the Taliban,” Milley said. Isn’t that kind of like a woman being “sort of” pregnant? more here
Mark Milley is an feeble old woman. If he ever had any testosterone, it took a powder.

…all that’s missing is helicopter evacuations from the embassy rooftop…
Is there any way we could bribe the Chi Coms or Russkies to take our entire Military High Command, lock, stock and barrel?
THE BIDENIOTS ARE IN CHARGE
NEVER HAVE I HAD SUCH A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN OUR MILITARY…NOT OUR POINTY-END-OF-THE-SPEAR MEN AND WOMEN, BUT THE FOOKING WOKE PENTAGON WILL SEAL OUR FATE
TTHE CLOCK IS TICKING LOUDLY!!

Milley the Wiley coyote, NOT suited for the job.
The military leadership is such an embarrassment.
Just put it in the Heading: “Building Democracy in Islamic Shitholes” and admit it cannot be done. There are Columns for: Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia, and now Afghanistan.
Forget it Jake, it’s Shitholistan.
Being the democrats are in power, the Taliban might as well be in Miley’s place.
Wow those are some Democrat bags under his eyes. Is that where he keeps the codes?

…probably be better, since they dont like gays and drugs…
Bush and the Pentagon numbskulls never came across the old canard that Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires.
20 years later, billions of $, and thousands of US casualties it finally dawned on them to get out. The real tragedy is the people who foolishly allied themselves to the US. The Taliban is taking extreme revenge on those poor folks.
I’ve always heard….
”bags like that under your eyes……
heavy bourbon drinker…..or even alcoholic.
What? And our military boys & girls couldn’t have blown all that equipment in place as they were leaving? Fuzes and timers? Would have been one hell of a fireworks show!
But, nooooooo……Der Leadership said they had to leave it all in place for the sand fleas to loot. I think that “Der Leadership” was embarrassed and decided to employ the drones against what equipment remaining that could be easily found. Just a show thing for the easily distracted and impressed. SQUIRREL!
How many billions was left behind? How many billions did it cost to send in to missles to destroy the billions that were left behind.
Moron secretary of defense Lloyd Austin is said to be in the pocket of missle maker Raytheon:

Our govenment is completely corrupt. Completely.
Just like at the end of the Vietnam War when they were throwing helicopters and other military equipment over the side of US Navy ships to dispose of it. These bastards never learn from the past do they.
Fall of Saigon, anyone?
…did the Taliban need nukes and F-15s to beat the US Government?
…asking for an oppressed population…
Your tax dollars at waste.
Took over France’ Vietnam fiasco, Russia’s Afghan fiasco, the middle east’s endless Iran fiasco, and burned lives and livelihood, for no ultimate good at all.
Are we the worlds disposable cleaning women now?
