'Highly Relevant' Documents Related To Afghanistan Withdrawal Were Hidden, Pentagon Says:
"... “The deeper we look, the more there is to look at. We are finding things that we did not expect. Recently, my team recovered highly relevant classified documents, material that should have been disclosed, stashed and hidden away in safes where they would not be found,” Parnell said. “And after the team reviewed these documents, it became clear why someone tried to hide them.”
Parnell did not provide any additional details on the contents of the documents, their exact location, the individuals involved in their storage, or any plans for public release or declassification.".......
Watch: Hegseth Rights Another Biden Wrong – Upgrades Abbey Gate Heroes’ Awards After Previous Admin Wrongly Downgraded Them by Randy DeSoto, The Western Journal:
“For half a decade, this building allowed bureaucratic caution, or maybe politics, to stand in the way of proper recognition,” Hegseth said on Wednesday, the fifth anniversary of the Abbey Gate attack. “Today, on this milestone anniversary, we declare that those days are over.”
“For too long, leadership in this capital city failed to match that frontline courage with administrative backbone, inappropriately downgrading the original award submissions that these men rightfully deserved,” Hegseth said." .......
Marines say CIA-trained Afghan units 'executed' civilians to clear Kabul airport, new doc reveals
"... Josephy Laude, a retired sergeant with the U.S. Marine Corp, also described what the CIA's Afghan Zero Units did to clear out the airport.
"They would use vehicles, they would run people over, they would execute people," Laude says in the film. "They'd shoot them, shoot into the crowds bearing witness to atrocities, to war crimes."
Gonzalez also said that had the Zero Units not taken the steps they took to clear the airport, he and his fellow Marines would not be alive today. Kenneth F. McKenzie, a retired Marine Corps general, also said that not only would the U.S. not have been able to clear the airport without the Zero Units, but they wouldn't have been able to hold it either.
"They were vital to the success of our mission," McKenzie said in the film.
The documentary alleges that to get the Zero Units to open fire on their own countrymen, the CIA had to promise that they and their entire families would be evacuated from Afghanistan.
Of the 124,000 people evacuated from the region in August 2021, roughly 30,000 – almost one quarter – were the Zero Units and their families. Meanwhile, loyal Afghan allies, including thousands of interpreters, were left behind. " .......
What Was the Biden Administration Hiding About Afghanistan? | Frontpage Mag:
"There are three categories of failure
1. The events leading up to the withdrawal. The Taliban were conquering Afghanistan area by area while the State Department was still trying to make a deal with them and Biden was pushing for a withdrawal at any cost. Warnings had been coming in about the crisis and they were being ignored.
2. The withdrawal itself. The decision was made to hand over Kabul to the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies and rely on them to manage the withdrawal. There was a good deal of resistance to going out and rescuing Americans. Kabul Airport itself was not properly secured. Bagram had been handed over to the enemy and sizable amounts of weaponry and vehicles were left behind.
3. Large numbers of unvetted Afghans were brought to America after being ushered in by the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. These enemy nationals are in the United States and repeat efforts have been made to legalize them." .......
Mourning service members lost in the Kabul Airport attack--NBC video
When America was overthrown in 2020, the Obama/Soros Deep State decided to use PDT’s planned withdrawal from Afghanistan for evil, to harm America while blaming him.
Instead of leaving in President Trump’s Strength and Honor, they chose to flee in disgrace, defeat and treason.
They gave Bagram Airbase to China, left pallets of cash for their terrorist allies, gave them gobs of weapons, sent billions of dollars to the Taliban, they gave them a list of all those who had helped us, they flew planeloads of unvetted terrorists to America–they even planned to let them work on our nuclear submarines!
They ordered our troops not to shoot the suicide bomber at the airport so as to murder our troops. They wanted America to leave in abject humiliation and discourage young Americans from serving.
In addition to the regular payments of billions to the Taliban, Barack Obiden would discover some new “debt” we “owed” to Iran every month or two, sending at least a hundred billion during the Biden Installation.
So of course they hid the heroism our soldiers displayed at Kabul Airport, even as they were being murdered by Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

excerpts from Requiem for The ‘Stan:
“… Every day, what has been my home feels more and more like an occupied country. Frustrated abroad and blinded by an almost demonic frenzy of resentment and utopian megalomania, the Leviathan turns with increased zeal upon its host. The mandates become continually more bizarre and shrill, with the stakes only getting higher. American citizens are being spied upon, imprisoned, fired, censored, lied to, manipulated, robbed, and killed, and those in the halls of power either incite it, enable it, or look away.
And yet, if Haji can endure the Leviathan and win, so can we.
By growing more severe and repressive in its methods, the regime hemorrhages legitimacy at home and around the world. As many have noted, it can no longer inspire or seduce, but must compel. There were many in my unit who enlisted after 9/11; who would join now? The regime’s occasional attempts to feign the old patriotism that galvanized generations prior seem so shallow and threadbare as to elicit sadness. People can no longer bring themselves to love and serve a country that has dispensed with the pretense of loving and serving them. It has become painfully apparent that we have crossed a threshold, and there is no going back.
I have heard it said that it is better for a man to lose a battle when he’s young if it keeps him from losing a war when he’s old. We have lost Afghanistan. We killed a great many of them, yes, but once again Ol’ Haj outlasted a foreign empire with delusions of grandeur, and the strong among them have retaken their clay. Haji is welcome to it. They got their last klick out of Sarge.
I suspect our struggle here though is just beginning. Formal institutions and avenues of influence are all but closed to those outside the managerial consensus. Most of America has been deemed “deplorable” as a citizenry whose wishes are no longer of any consequence to those in authority, and are not entitled to representation in any meaningful way. It is my hope this can be changed peacefully. Stranger things have happened.
However we do it, this enterprise before us will take a great deal of sacrifice and toil in the coming years, but also present us with opportunities to rediscover, explore, defend, and build anew. We don’t have to live this way; “tis not too late to seek a newer world.” …….
