Offer Upgrade  User ID: 80770590  Germany08/20/2021 03:53 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PHOTO shows nearly EMPTY military transport plane leaving Kabul as ex-Royal Marine tears into evacuation ‘screw-up’ So the British, French, and German troops are crossing Taliban lines to rescue their citizens??? WRONG!!!  As desperate Afghans continue to gather outside Kabul’s airport in hopes of being airlifted to safety, a photograph taken by an evacuee revealed that almost every seat on her flight out of the country was empty. Paul ‘Pen’ Farthing, a former Royal Marine commando who operates an animal shelter in the Afghan capital, shared a photo snapped by his wife apparently showing the interior of a military transport plane involved in the ongoing evacuation operation. The dimly lit aircraft was almost completely empty, with rows upon rows of unoccupied seats. https://twitter.com/_/status/1428449527225372681 [link to www.rt.com (secure)] Last Edited by 16 Blocks on 08/20/2021 03:59 PM Emotion beats reason Don't let it be that way |

Quoting: Augmentalist I see no end in sight to the absurd incompetence. Each day closer to the pit of hell. Nice to know I will pay taxes for the rest of my life to pay for that one empty flight. Par for the course, unfortunately. I paid for shrimp running on a treadmill, countless $200 hammers, and now I get to pay for nobody to get evacuated from that shithole. Hell, all the money I, and everybody I know, have or will ever pay in taxes, wouldn't pay for just one of those Blackhawks we gifted the Taliban.

I'm surprised it is not full of babies like they are showing being handed over the wall... “I’m the wall that progress ran into" |

(I don't think that is so many steps up from those whom the Taliban are replacing, who preferred boys) most people are not remembered by history for their virtue, but rather by what they have written. |

If she had a problem with that logic, she should have stepped off the plane until more foreigners arrived. But the plane needs fuel and not 7.62's or RPG7's hitting it so would leave anyway. Those MEN that crammed on the early flights are obviously on the ground abroad sucking up manpower and resources, ask them about women and babies. Qatar and Bahrain are not taking any more Afghans. |
