...as if we didn't expect it. Around 3am central time Special Forces connected with AFSOC deployed. No idea where as of yet, but was sudden, from a central CONUS base. Airmen had less than an hour notice to be on flight. I hope to God we're not going to push our luck "over there". This info came to me DIRECT from one deploying..

Thanks for the heads-up.
Are special forces likely to be white hat / devolution led?
There is no Devolution. I wish you people would get a clue. Trump is Commander in Chief.
Did it actually really really happen? We are watching a movie.
The order by Trump to not allow the CIA to use Dept of Defense equipment, aircraft whatever... right before Trump 'left office' meant that when the DoD commands left Afghanistan, they would not have allowed CIA personal (direct and indirect) to be on board the DoD aircraft. This may have achieved the goal of departing Afghan (which Trump wanted to do), in way that Trump was not responsible (as 'Biden' did it), while leaving equipment for the Afghans to defend themselves, and while isolating CIA personal in a place where they were suddenly cut off and had not support/ride home. Also resulted in decrease in narcotics trafficking from/via Afghan and possibly reduction in human trafficking. Bonus; how much of the arsenal did not remain in Afghan? If it left, where did it go?
