RedState.com Nails It — and COL Buccino is full of it — Kurilla, Donahue, Go to Hell
Mind dump, sans edit

I told COL Buccino just HOURS after this debacle — probably about the time that trophy-truck was being loaded onto the aircraft in Kabul, that I never want to hear from Lieutenant General Erik Kurilla again. That whole thing is cover-up and bullshit.
Kurilla was commander of Ranger Regiment, and yet engages in the wall of silence as mothers practically pushing strollers go through Ranger School as if all this GI Jane bullshit is true. For shame. Deep shame.
And all you Delta and Ranger officers who bite your tongue while this continues, and you Rangers and Green Berets and SEALs who bite your tongues — you are part of the problem. Go-along to get-along. Get out. Go wash cars.
Burn those Ranger tabs. Keep the old Tabs. They mean something. Like after I went to jump school and was ashamed to wear the wings. Jump school was a joke.
82nd Airborne abandoned Americans. Abandoned Americans to Taliban, al Qaeda, ISIS. Officers who did not protests are SCUM. Go get your untested gene-therapy. Selling out your own body, your family, your country.
These officers are illegitimate. Refuse their illegal orders. If you see Kurilla or Donahue commit a felony, arrest them on the spot.
Abandonment: I had a front-row seat, as did many others, such as Cory Mills, Rick Clay, Lara Logan, Bret Odam, Al Johnson, COL Matt Rogers, Dave Eubank. I set up the Signal chat that night. The chat you may have seen on the news where COL Matt Rogers said something like, “We are fxxxx leaving Americans behind!”
All the names above other, than Cory Mills, were on that chat that night. Cory was running a related part of the operation. Cory and his team finally pulled it off and got more Americans into Tajikistan after 82nd Airborne left them on the ‘beach’ to die.
And the CIA. The sheen is gone. You are nothing. The people getting things done are civilians. Business people. Former military. Former CIA. Practically anyone winning any battles is either a civilian who never worked for the government, or are ex-Something.
Do you think I would call Delta or SEALs if I needed to rescue a family member? I would call my friends! If it can be done, we can do it faster and probably without mess. USG will get everyone killed, after wasting a billion dollars.
Iran: Desert One. Delta Force failure. Ross Perot’s employees were taken hostage in Iran. He sent a retired Green Beret Colonel who was pig-farming in Florida and rescued his people with no mess. But President Carter sent all the King’s horses and men — and they crashed into each other and burned in the desert. Naturally, the Delta command wrote a book about it.
This year while Biden abandoned Afghanistan, Rick Clay and his team had jets on the ground at Kabul but Major General Chris Donahue, former Delta officer, now commanding general of 82nd Airborne. Rick and his team had a 737 and two A-340s empty on the ground at Kabul Airport. I called Rick and he said their jets were ready but empty. I called COL Matt Rogers, Task Force Pineapple, and others. We got it going. But 82nd Airborne would not open the gates to allow Americans in.
You did not see a single active American general stand up and say this is wrong. Kurilla’s PAO started, Buccino, who is mentioned in the RedState.com article, started his bullshit campaign the next morning while American babies were left behind at the gate. Just like Kurilla rolled out carpet for mothers in Ranger School.
I’ve met the enemy. They abandoned babies. And they say NOTHING about our border invasion.
Kurilla, go to hell!
