No US military pilot would try to take off with a bunch of civilians clinging onto the outside of their craft, unless they were under direct fire and imminent threat of losing the craft. This is not how we do business folks. Prior service and active duty members speak up. This is just more sensationalized propaganda video engineered to invoke unrational emotional response, just like Chinese civilians spontaneously falling over dead in the streets from the coof. We are being set up for another major okie doke. Stay alert, stay alive!

Biden may take a PR hit, but the military industrial complex wins from this one.
Same recipe as under Obama:
1.) Pretend to "withdraw" from an occupied nation hastily 2.) Pretend to "abandon" equipment 3.) Actually give that equipment to the terrorist group, and give them funds. 4.) Direct them to retake their country 5.) "Oh no! We never should have left x country!" 6.) Send all the troops back, or more even, and with fresh equipment. 7.) Forever war continues for another 5-10 years with public support, funding is free-flowing 8.) Rinse and repeat.
If it makes Biden look bad, oh well. It keeps the money flowing, but it also makes the pro-war people look good. Hell, they could be using this move to ordain the next republican that's supposed to win.
How much is real, and how much is fake?
How would any of us ever really fucking know. I'm pretty confident that the insurgents are real and really do engage our troops; too many dead and maimed for that to be false. I think they just have idiots in their ranks and greedy leadership that is more than willing to sacrifice their troops to the meat grinder for a share of the profits.
Did we really pull out troops? I really doubt it. Trump tried and they [supposedly] had him deceived, saying they pulled troops out when they hadn't. Maybe a shuffle, maybe a slight withdraw, but no net loss of troops in the ME.
Oh, don't forget the bonus of shitloads of refugees to import from this, too!
