Eleven U.S. Marines and a Navy medic were killed Thursday in an attack on the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, where the U.S. is attempting to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies, according to the Associated Press.

A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed earlier Thursday that a "number of" U.S. service members were killed and others were wounded. An unknown number of Afghan civilians were also among the casualties.

12 dead and 140 wounded after a bombing. This was completely preventable. Sad day.

Calling this a Benghazi really minimizes this event, which is the start of something much worse.

Newly assuming power is a precarious position for an authoritarian dictatorship to be in, the Taliban. The US went about this massive endeavor without any intelligence or plan whatsoever it looks like, and now the mutual enemies of the US and the Taliban have arrived in Kabul to sow chaos: enter ISIS.

American casualties during pullout:

Vietnam: 0
Afghanistan: ~0-100

Americans stranded overseas:

Vietnam: 0
Afghanistan: ~1000-3000

American technology that will be commandeered and reverse engineered by the Chinese

Vietnam: None.
Afghanistan: All of our modern weaponry and aircraft.

No, the vehicles left behind are anything but modern. The blackhawk helicopters everyone is bitching about? Well, they famously shot one down over Mogadishu in 1991, 30 years ago.

False flag to force us to send a troop surge. Obvious.

How modern was the military equipment and small arms left behind in Iraq and turned over to ISIS?

These people died doing what they loved and we should honor their sacrifice. Still, I think this is a really small price to pay for getting 100k new Democrat voters.

It’s super cool that Trump defeated ISIS so hard that they did this from the grave.
