Both stories' headlines are another example of how today's media rolls however the content in both contradicts their headline.

Note: will not comment on the incident @Arlington because the facts haven't been made public nor has the attribution of the pic(s). Surprised some are claiming it's AI-generated. How would they know?

Will comment on the media and Trump et al framing the withdrawal as chaotic. US-NATO airlifted 124,000 souls from Kabul IA, the largest airlift in mil history. The US-NATO was not in charge of securing the outer rings of the security perimeter, the new Af government was. It was their dirt, not ours. Find the story of a single SB causing the deaths of a min. of 176 and wounding more to be implausible. Find the label chaotic to be a deflection away from the terms negotiated by Pompeo and Trump w/the Taliban that excludes the sitting Af government.
