The FDA had a chance to educate but they chose to be condescending instead. This is why some will never trust the govt...the arrogance is obvious.
THIS IS WHY WE'RE AT WAR OVER FUCKING MASKS!
If this is true then good! But expect a MASSIVE pushback, excessive moralizing and a squealing that we're gonna lose prestige by leaving.Breaking: Biden has decided to stick w/August 31 deadline for withdrawal from Kabul, a senior administration official tells @Kevinliptakcnn

Notable caveat: Biden has asked for contingency plans in case he determines at a later date the US needs to remain in the country longer.

| The AMPV has been successfully meeting its testing requirements, including some tough ones when it comes to survivability. An Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle drives into a pit. Not long thereafter an improvised explosive device lying underneath detonates. Those present wait to see what happens next. Will the AMPV’s tracks start turning to climb out of the pit? Or is the combat vehicle unable to move, too severely damaged by the IED? Such has been the testing the AMPV Family of Vehicles has gone through over the past several months. In each of the 12 rigorous tests conducted by the U.S. Army so far, the AMPVs have passed with flying colors, either meeting or exceeding the testing requirements and driving out of the test pit. The testing is meant to show that the AMPV is survivable and can withstand the toughest situations to keep Soldiers as safe as possible in combat zones. Vehicles produced in the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase of the program have completed Army testing. “We have worked comprehensively to ensure the AMPV family of vehicles is designed and manufactured with the latest technology,” said Scott Davis, vice president of BAE Systems’ Ground Vehicles. “We have integrated technologies into our AMPV engineering and manufacturing process such as robotic welding, digital X-ray, and advanced large-scale machining to allow the Army to provide the capability necessary to protect our warfighters.” Live fire testing is crucial because it proves survivability solutions and instills confidence in Army Soldiers that these new vehicles will protect them in real combat. It also gives BAE Systems an opportunity to validate the vehicles’ robust survivability and force protection measures before full-rate production and fielding to Soldiers who will have to fight from these vehicles in the most dangerous scenarios. |
What if?
What if the Taliban goes nuts and its an evacuation/retrograde/retreat under fire?
6K troops on the ground, literally surrounded...the only way out is by air?
Good God what a mess!
We're already hearing about fire fights at the perimeter of the airport so someone is getting a little sporty.
Hmm.
The Taliban can't win but they have the Biden admin in a terrible spot.
Everyone is so concerned about the Afghans but our forces are at Ft Apache. Once again I marvel at the idiocy of some members of the military and the elite. They were so worried about the Afghans that they forgot about our people ... fellow Americans in uniform because they decided to moralize about getting out our allies instead of worrying about our OWN first!
Want to know the craziest thing?
Whoever planned this shit put our people in a self made KILLBOX!
We are so screwed and no one realizes it...correction...no one is saying it out loud.

Catherine Leroy was widely considered the most daring photographer in Vietnam. She had earned her parachutist license as a teenager, and had already jumped 84 times before the combat jump. She was the first accredited photojournalist to jump into combat. |
