Northern Virginia has become a hub of US Afghan evacuation efforts, with Dulles International Airport having received thousands of refugees over the past days and weekend.
Aircraft full of Afghan refugees began touching down last week, with as of Monday the flights into the US ramping up. Monday morning reports say at least five planes landed at Dulles today with 1,300 total Afghan evacuees.
A new Pentagon statement indicates some 16,000 evacuees have been flown out of Kabul in the last 24 hours – this after on Friday operations out of Hamid Karzai International Airport had to be “paused” for at least eight hours as reception facilities in the region, especially Qatar, had reached capacity.
A Pentagon spokesman on Monday said the following of what’s become a joint DoD and US civilian airline companies joint endeavor:
In last 24 hours, dozens of flights departed Kabul, Afghanistan, carrying 16,000 passengers, Pentagon spokesperson says; U.S. military transported just under 11,000. “Our mission remains focused on ensuring a steady flow of evacuees out of Kabul.”
The tempo of flight departures overseen by the US military out of Kabul has clearly picked up, given Pentagon statements last week cited over 13,000 people flown out during the entirety of the first week of operations. Now officials are touting that over 10,000 a day are departing out of Kabul on the flights.
Are you telling me that they have all been vetted? Yeah, right!
Plenty of room in Montgomery County.
Have any of these people been vaccinated. Bet not but nothing will be said or done about it
Send them to Mexico !!!!
The “war” was a failure.
No question at all.
Which general is demoted or kicked out of the service for THAT?
None.
What we WILL do is promote several more women and some black colonels to the rank of general to reward them for their “valor” and “sacrifice” in another FAILED AMERICAN WAR.
Generals who actually COMMAND and kill everything in front of them are forced to retire.
REAL soldiers who KILL THE ENEMY are …….wait for it………prosecuted and jailed.
I am a veteran. I would NEVER allow any of my children to serve in a military that is more committed to “diversity”, “inclusion”, and solving SOCIAL issues (even ones that are made up for political reasons) than they are to actually KILLING and DESTROYING the enemy.
Instead of studying the tactics of Alexander the Great, Pershing, Patton, or even Rommel, they now study “white rage” and try to understand why Black Lives Matter.
Why we lost? Right there in a nutshell.
How handy to take these Afghanies to such a close location to the Capitol and White House. They haven’t been vetted so if there are terrorists among them, they won;t have to go far to blow up the Capitol and White House. Neat, huh?
