    1. @CWR Right! The absolute worst! One and done…I’m still trying to figure out WTH is their system??? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

  1. The United States of America at its best. There’s a job to do get the Americans home , old Americans and new Americans . Our military is at its best with a job to do they will see this through. Thank you to the United States military each and every one of you..

    1. 18 planes? Ok. So the government owns the airline assets and can do what they please with private property of some company. Ok. We live in China or Russia.

    2. What about the people who didn’t have the warning or means to get to the airport? What about the rest of Afghanistan that was taken before Kabul? What about the massive arsenal of war weaponry and machines we are leaving to the taliban?

  2. There have been huge cargo planes leaving almost empty …others so full nobody has room to sit down …maybe the issue isn’t that more planes are needed as much as the Administration needs to man up and get organized . They still don’t have a clue what’s going on or how to get our people to the airport safely …..it’s scandalous .

  3. We ,the people who live in USA have to be grateful ,because this is the best country that exist.Everybody want to come here. We should be grateful everyday that we already are here.

    1. You do realize just because the US is the best doesn’t mean there are a ton of issues and people have the right to be upset about those issues?

  4. So much for global warming and carbon admissions. Hope those commercial airlines are equipped with flares anti rockets sys

  5. With all the military might and tools we have, ow we need suffering private sector aircraft…wow..great planning Biden

  6. Think about the fact that Americans are risking their lives landing aircraft in Kabul to evacuate American and Afghan civilians and by next month, those same men and women can be dishonorably discharged for refusing an experimental vaccine.
    The Biden regime is DISGUSTING.

  7. We’re letting the democrats off too easy by calling this “Biden’s Mess”. He’s just a puppet reading the script he’s been given. The democratic party is behind this, as a whole. Let’s put the blame where it belongs. The dems will flush the backlash when they flush Joe and give Kamala a new script.

  8. I’m starting to think Joey B was referring to the Taliban with his “Build Back Better” slogan

  9. Shameful that our government can’t send cargo planes over to help evacuate – JB is a disgrace! This whole thing has been a disgrace!

  10. If it’s Southwest they’ll make the evacuees where masks and vaccinate you before, and if you don’t they push you out of the plane mid-flight.

  11. There’s no time for strategy here. Just get our people out like our allies were already doing. Soldiers are starving on the other side of the fence.

    Risk more lives by doing nothing.

  12. WTF?!? The US military has greater funding than the next 10 nations combined. The US military transports troops all over the world. They don’t have 18 planes to evacuate people in an emergency?!!
