Some details of how Old Joe Biden’s Potemkin military, distracted by wokeness, catastrophically bungled our withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 are well known: a government watchdog has just confirmed in a new report that Old Joe’s diverse and vaccinated military brass left behind $7.2 in weapons and aircraft for the Taliban, but that was already widely known. Less well known, however, is the information that Marine Sergeant Tyler Vargas-Andrews revealed Wednesday: American snipers could have taken out the jihad bomber who killed 13 Americans at Kabul airport on Aug. 26, 2021, but their superiors ordered them to stand down.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Want to know who gave the order not to shoot the suicide bomber first arrest the person the sniper was speaking to on the radio. Offer that person amnesty if they reveal who ordered then to relay the don’t shoot order. Then go up the line to the order originator. You will find the original order giver in short order.

This is what happens when fools who have no operational experience and who are not on the ground, take control of an operation via satellite from the other side of the world.
The troops on the ground are the only ones who can make a call like that.

This happened because the criminals making decisions, wanted harm to be done to Americans.
They are working to build the anger of the average American who loves others, makes ethical decisions, is honest in their work and community matters and see such as this, as treason and sabotage
When the anger has built to a high degree across the country, they are hoping it will spill over and that there will truly be an *insurrection** against them and then, they’ll lower the hammer on that average American citizen.
It will then be the time they *load* up the trucks and *lock* up all they have loaded.
Evil follows a design, a plan, a scheme and this evil in charge, is using every avenue they can open to reach their ultimate goals.
OLD GUY says
Micro management has NEVER worked out well. In the military decisions need to be made on the ground by leaders who have a feel for what is happening right now, not hours away a board room.
