This will add another layer to the fury of Americans. I don't think the Biden administration has any clue as to how this news will be received by the people of this nation.

As for myself, I can't even think about it. It's just too much.

There are people in this country who won't stand for this, and for anyone looking into this forum from the outside and who wonders what that means, you just keep wondering.

I don't elevate animals to the point where they are treated as emotional support teddy bears, taking up seats on commercial passenger planes, driving with them on people's lap, and taking them into every store and building as if they were a Siamese twin...but I'll be damned if leaving these working dogs behind to the whims or neglect of savages, will be considered a good or prudent decision. Bull shit!

The broken trust in leaving these dogs behind is no less than the trust broken in leaving people behind. Leaving these dogs behind is no less despicable than leaving people behind.

I'm not even going to try to keep a lid on the anger you guys feel right now.

What can you do right now, feeling so helpless? You can spread the word about this, gentlemen. Make sure everyone you know, knows about this. Seed the forums and chat rooms with it.

What an you do? You can be Johnny Fucking Appleseed.

Leaving dogs behind is just sad. I hope this conflicts the liberals such that their heads explode having to tell themselves that dog maltreatment is ok now because Biden did it and they voted for this!

Who is in charge in our military making these stupid decisions like this?

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Yes a dog does not rate on the same level as a human.
With the exception of those in the Biden administration.
A military working dog holds a much higher status and IQ.

However, when you consider the devastation to a dog handler when they are ordered to leave their dog behind to the Taliban, it is despicable.

Remember the last few days we heard of several flights flying out of Kandahar mostly empty.
Why didn’t they put the dogs on those flights.
Purely heartless not to evacuate the military working dogs.

Did the High School students and their chaperones from California make it back from Afghanistan?
I don’t believe so, or the news surely would have reported it.

They are sub-human, and I'm really sick of "tolerating" them.

The administration and the people who put them there, make me physically ill. I can't put it any nicer than that. I feel like every American should find a Biden voter, if you can, and thank them in person, physically.

No, see, humans over there at least understand what's going on. Humans chose to be there or, in the case of miitary personnel, they chose to place themselves in the position of having to go there or somehwere else in harm's way. These dogs, though- we chose them, trained them and sent them there. They had no choice in the matter, and now, we've left them, so, in a sense, what's happening to those trusting dogs is worse than the abandonment of the human lives. You may disagree, but this is how I feel.

I understand how many of you feel, because I feel the same way. This makes me murderously furious, indescribably angry. You want to do something about it. So do I. All we can do right now is to make sure as many Americans know about this as is possible. That's what you can do, and believe me- spreading the word about this is not nothing.

Uzbekistan Warns U.S. That Afghan Pilots and Their Families Can’t Stay

Facing Taliban pressure, Uzbekistan has warned the U.S. that a group of highly trained Afghan pilots who fled there two weeks ago aboard Afghan Air Force helicopters and airplanes face expulsion from the country, officials say.

Uzbekistan is urging Washington to act quickly to take the pilots to a third country to avoid inflaming relations with the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan, these officials say. Uzbekistan has maintained relations with the group for years while carefully hedging between powers vying for influence in Afghanistan.

The U.S. effort to train and build an Afghan air force was among the most celebrated programs in support of the country’s military. The U.S. spent billions of dollars on the air force, including on training, maintenance and the supply of dozens of helicopters and planes.

Some Afghan pilots flew themselves to safety with hundreds of family members and colleagues aboard 46 Afghan Air Force helicopters and planes. These pilots are among the Taliban’s most hated enemies because of their role in airstrikes that inflicted high numbers of casualties during the decadeslong conflict. The Taliban also have called on Uzbekistan to return the aircraft to Afghanistan.

The issue has come to the attention of Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Rep. August Pfluger (R., Texas), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and former U.S. Air Force pilot, asked Mr. Blinken to intervene to help the pilots who face the risk of reprisal from the Taliban.

“In my mind, worst-case scenario was they go back to Afghanistan, and they’re murdered, but for sure they’re going to be met with what I would say is an uncertain fate,” Mr. Pfluger said.

In response to questions, the State Department said, “We thank the Uzbek government for continuing to host Afghans in Uzbekistan while we pursue all avenues for their long-term safety and security.”

The State Department has been slow to respond to the matter, a foreign official said, frustrating the Uzbek government.

Mr. Pfluger said Uzbekistan’s ambassador to the U.S. told him last week that the pilots “don’t have to go home, but they can’t stay here,” citing pressure over the issue from the Taliban. The Taliban, which has also demanded that Uzbekistan return the missing Afghan Air Force aircraft , didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The Uzbek government has had a working relationship with the Taliban for years and views their takeover of Kabul as a sign of the broad support the group enjoyed across Afghanistan, the foreign official said. The ousted Afghan president, who also fled Kabul via Uzbekistan, was allowed only to refuel at the airport and wasn’t greeted by any Uzbek officials.

In all, 585 Afghans, including pilots, crew and families, arrived aboard the aircraft. The Uzbeks had “no idea” who was aboard until they landed, the foreign official said. The Afghans are now being housed in lodging previously used as mobile hospitals during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in Uzbekistan.

The Taliban are pressuring officials at Uzbekistan’s embassy in Kabul to turn over the pilots, the foreign official said, and have warned that the pilots’ families in Afghanistan will be at risk if they aren’t handed over immediately.

“I am very worried that Taliban pressure on the Uzbek government will be so much so that they will be sent back, and we know what their fate will be,” Mr. Pfluger recalled telling Mr. Blinken.

I tell people in my life that, yes, I do want to live longer, though most of my life is behind me I want to see what "the golden years" are really like. However, I also tell them- those who will understand such a statment anyway- that I am already halfway to "don't give a shit."

I find myself pulling on the reins in this forum at times like this, trying to get members to keep a lid on it and not say anything imprudent, but, right now, I'm feeling awfully Goddamned wreckless and I have had just about enough of these fucking leftist whores shitting on this great nation.

Rule #1 - Don't leave anyone behind. I'm full of rage but without much of an outlet. Sadly, I'm feeling less proud to be an American everyday. I can't even express my thoughts or feelings. SCREAM!!!

Nothing these totalitarian scumbags do can ever make me less proud of my country or less proud to be an American. They can't touch that.

And I do believe that what goes around comes around.
