Dan Crenshaw, Lara Logan Bring Disturbing Reports Out of the Kabul Airport
[PJMedia] Rep. Dan Crenshaw is a retired Navy SEAL who served and was maimed in Afghanistan’s Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province during his third deployment, in 2012. He lost his right eye and his left eye was badly damaged in an IED attack. Crenshaw is held in extremely high regard in the veteran and active-duty communities.

Lara Logan is a long-time award-winning journalist now working for Fox News who has spent much of her career covering war zones including Iraq and Afghanistan. Between the two of them, Logan and Crenshaw have spent years in and around Afghanistan. Due to their experience there, both are likely to have credible sources on the ground at the Kabul airport.

Both Logan and Crenshaw are independently reporting that Americans have been turned away from safety at that airport over the past couple of days.

Logan posted this tweet Saturday afternoon.

#1 Because the Biden's Generals are part of his neo-Marxist regime.

#2 ^The unbroken streak of American victories in Iraq & Afghanistan shows that the problem started long before POTUS Biden. Long before VPOTUS Biden.

#3 Certain pieces had to be in place before you get Lunch Vader.

Such as that gal who live stream bragged about dodging revelry, or the open communist who didn't get booted from West Point by either the admin or student body, or the latest gal marine making sergeant when she can't even change a tire.

These are symptoms of middle management performing with the blessing and weight of enough upper management, you get Lunch Vader and Gen Miley Cyrus.

#4 Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul - been on this all night again w no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd soldiers at the gate, many are turned away & sent back to the Taliban.

That is because the US was focused on only getting out of the airport ASAP. Not on getting more Americans out. Massive Sh!t Show by Biden's Woke Generals.

The last plane of US Troops just left the airport.

#5 No doubt all the media, talking heads, spokespeople, etc... will be 'absolutely suprised' when they bloodletting starts in the next week or so.

They really do expect the Taliban to be 'secular' in their dealings.

#6 The blood letting already started.

If Taliban chops off 1000 heads, and it isn't reported by CNN - did it really happen?

#7 Iraq - US forces went in to take out Saddam Hussein. Mission accomplished.

Afghanistan - Our young men and women went in to take out Osama Bin Laden. Mission accomplished.

Our people in uniform prevented another 9/11/2001 for 20 years. They won.

Now. Tell me all about the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and the Dome of the Rock, all still standing proudly where the Second Temple once stood and will never stand again g(r)omgoru.

#8 I know some people here pissed you off, but several others here stood up for you. And I can understand your agitation about that as you have been one of us forever. But if you wanna bash my country then it is open season both ways so let's rumble.
