Taliban in Kabul as President Flees

TreeFrogTrader said:
One of the things that is dirty and ugly is that the Americans are cooperating with the Taliban to make sure that people do not cross checkpoints unless they have solid documentation. In that way, the Taliban is helping to reduce massive crowds/mobs pleading for their lives as the last person is accepted through the gates. It is so-so for now because the Taliban are mostly out at some perimeter and many people are in fact still being evacuated. But once the rumor of "last call" goes out it will be entirely different as if it is not already a total disaster.

Then, the Americans will be relieved of the ugly duty of beating them back because just letting the Taliban arrive at the airport will cause them to have to flee from that area.

Ugly, just ugly.

Yes-----Yes he is.

I'm sure the troops on the ground are running some of their own ops. Problem is, if Tali come hard they're already at the perimeter and will be inside the wire in no time. It's close combat at that point. Our boys will hold their own, but without support and resupply they'll be overwhelmed sooner than later. I don't know exactly how outnumbered they are, but if the tali go all in it's going to be a fucking fight to be remembered.

Yep----we need another 25k of them and restore the air power.

Jeez... "come hard" in this situation only requires 4 or 5 mortar teams.

I'll bet the US military is filling a whole lot of sandbags right now.
