The Forever War Comes To A Close As The Last Military Plane Leaves Kabul

After 20 years in Afghanistan, the United States announced that they had completed their withdrawal from the country. General Frank McKenzie announced in a press conference at the Pentagon.

“I’m here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens, third-country nationals and vulnerable Afghans. The last C-17 lifted off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on Aug. 30, this afternoon at 3:29 p.m., east coast time, and the last manned aircraft is now clearing the air space above Afghanistan.”

Stranded Citizens

However, many U.S. citizens are still in Afghanistan because the Taliban would not let them pass checkpoints. On top of the Americans who want out of the country, tens of thousands of Afghans who worked with the United States are trying to get out of the country.

McKenzie said, "Look, there's a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure." He went on to say that they got out everyone who they "wanted to get out."

He also said that even with another ten days, it would be unlikely that they would have gotten everyone else. The State Department is working "very hard" to get the remaining people out.

State Department Negotiations

McKenzie said, "I believe that we're going to be able to get those people out." He said they were also working on getting Afghan partners to safety, saying the Department of State is taking point from here on out.

The equipment left behind was said to be rendered useless, including all aircraft and Humvees.

He also said that the U.S. military was able to get all the Afghan soldiers guarding the airport out as well. The 2,0000 ISIS fighters are the biggest threat currently, with McKenzie deeming them worse than the Taliban.

Control of Afghanistan

The Taliban currently controls more territory in Afghanistan than before September 11, 2001. The US attempted to turn the mess in Afghanistan into a functioning government, an attempt that did not stick.

While three different presidents had a hand in the Longest War, Trump made the initial agreement with the Taliban to pull troops out of the country. An agreement that Biden affirmed and finalized in August.

In all, 122,000 people were evacuated from the country. But, unfortunately, many are still stranded in the country, waiting for a way out.

  5. This is sickening! They are telling outright lies when they said that all those wanting to get out of Afghanistan got out, we are still hearing people screaming that they want out NOW, before they are murdered! Also our equipment has NOT been disabled as proven by all the Humvees topped with machineguns being driven around by the Taliban who are even dressed in our surplus uniforms! A Blackhawk is seen riding around on the taxiway at some airport giving joyrides to other Taliban. MRAPs and other armored personnel carriers being driven around hauling Taliban fighters, Hundreds of our firearms being carried and fired by these same Taliban fighters. We need to go back in and take back Bagrum Air Base and remain there with an Embassy located there and personnel enough to secure that base and keep it open and safe for Afghans and American people to come there if they want out. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE ANYONE FROM INTERFERING WITH THAT! If they act against us or our people we WILL send in drones, Bombers, and cruise missiles to take out chosen targets.

    1. The sensitivity of the illegal President tells it all. As thirteen dead military people were being brought off the plane and being returned to their heartbroken families, he kept looking at his watch as if to say…how long do I have to be bored with this?
