Here's an interesting tale – 308 Afghan spec ops were evacuated via unmarked aircraft: link I wonder where these guys will end up?
UAE, Turkey and Russia have been gorging on "stateless"/unemployed mercenaries for various adventures in Libya, Azerbaijan, Yemen etc etc. There's also plenty of true mercenary organisations sprouting up.
300+ American trained special operations troops would be quite a decent boon for any mercenary operator. |

Well it just keeps getting better. Maybe Pakistan will give the Taliban a couple of Nukes too …? |

while Americans waving passports at an entry gate to US troops at Kabul airport were left behind… Yeah but those Americans aren't as valuable to US and particularly US allies as much as 300 elite spec ops without a job. I suspect we'll be seeing these guys in Libya, Somalia and Yemen soon along with more Australians (SAS is being purged after war crimes including disbandment of 2nd Squadron – apparently 100 troopers are out of work). |

I wonder if it was part of Pineapple Express. My friends are friends with some of those that assisted in that endeavor. |

"Maybe Pakistan will give the Taliban a couple of Nukes too …?" If they haven't already found a few tac nukes left behind at Bagram (something like that happening wouldn't surprise me…) |

If they haven't already found a few tac nukes left behind at Bagram (something like that happening wouldn't surprise me…) Well we hopefully would have found them in all the time we spent there. I'd think ? However, the US ran a Black Site in a former USSR state across the A'stan border. During the more active time of the war. That Black Site was a former USSR airbase, etc. Yellow cake was found there and huge amounts of chem contamination from all sorts of POL, etc. that were not stored or disposed of properly, etc. (Why did the USSR have yellow cake there ?) The service members who worked there are trying to get the VA to take care of them. As many are very, very ill from all the contamination, etc. But since they served at a Black Site, they had to get some Bigger Guns to make that happen. |

Interesting. I didn't see it mentioned on the news. |

You and I know a lot does not make the news. I read it in March 2021 American Legion Magazine. They have a lot of articles, etc., you won't see anywhere else. As it is all about Vets, VA, etc. This is similar to all the Vet VA claims, etc. about the troops that were near the burn pits in places like Iraq and A'stan. I am a member and on staff of our local Military Officers Assoc. of America Chapter. MOAA is also involved in getting the VA/Gov't to help those troops who suffer the ill effects of burn pits, etc. Years ago there was a similar situation which happened at Area 51 to a civilian working there. Also dealing with burn pits. The Gov't wouldn't do anything as "there was not such thing as Area 51". His lawyer finally broke thru the BS. But the worker died anyway later … |
