An Afghan sniper who worked alongside British special forces in the war-torn country was hunted down by the Taliban on Monday and executed in front of his family, according to a former UK army colonel. The victim, a father of five only identified as “N” to protect his surviving kin, reportedly was murdered after being one of the hundreds of Western allies left behind during a disastrous evacuation effort. “He [had] been in hiding because of the threat he faced,” British former Col. Ash Alexander-Cooper, who was once a senior adviser to the Afghan Ministry of Interior Affairs, told the Times of London.(Snip)“It was entirely predictable

Another lesson: if we are the invaders then we should do our own dirty work.

A simple question. Why would this guy just wait around for his executioners to arrive? Why would he not flee the country, or at very least the area where he is known?

As I type, Blinky Blinken is withering under Rand Paul’s questioning… Blinken deserves far worse…
The only good thing I see is that Blinken is aging before our eyes. Not getting much sleep?

Right. From in front of our laptops, thousands of miles away, let’s blame this man for not getting himself out of harm’s way. For once, I am speechless. I thought I’d seen cavalier, but this takes the cake.

Biden is going to need extremely good luck if he ever has to go to the UK and ask for British military coalition support to lunch another politically based military diabol by invading some other third world country and then retreating and surrending when the going gets tough. As according to British commentators the UK Parliament as it stands now will never assist or trust Biden again. Essentially what Biden did was dump the UK as an ally, and took up with the Taliban as his new ally as far as the Afghanistan fiasco goes. Telling the commander of the British Airborne Force at the Kabul Airport or his staff that they are not welcome at US Military staff meetings is not a good way for Biden or the US to keep the trust of what has been America’s closest ally for over a hundred years.

A coworker was born in Chile, and his family emigrated to the USA when he was a child. He was born in Chile because his grandfather and grandmother, and their son and daughter fled the Nazis searching for Jews in their native Germany during WW2, and managed to cross the border into Switzerland, then later settle in Chile. The son was my coworker's father.
I knew a woman who was a bush pilot in Alaska, had a PhD and eventually became a professor teaching at a small college in the midwest. When she was twelve, in Germany, in the Soviet sector, the border was closed and they began to build the wall to divide East and West Germany. Before the physical wall had reached her small city, as a 12 year old girl, she decided that freedom was important, and while her family stayed home, she took a small suitcase with a few belongings and walked all night in the countryside, dodging patrols, guided by the stars. By dawn she was in the Allied occupation zone. She lived in an orphanage until she was an adult, emigrated to the US, got a college education, a commercial pilot's license and lived and worked in the Alaskan bush for many years.
I know multiple Cubans who have difficult stories of escaping Castro in small boats, and I lived in Key West in the very early 60s when many of them came over and I saw the tiny boats that brought 20 or so people.
Not everyone sits and waits for rescue when things turn bad in their home country. Some find their way to a new place and make a new life.

#4, another question would be, why didn't he have a rifle and take a good number of these simps with him?

But it was done in a professional and businesslike manner. Dear God, I detest these liars in this administration.

Only an idiot would help this country, or serve it in any way. That applies to foreigners and Americans equally. I am ashamed of the years I spent serving this criminal cabal. The things that made America great have been replaced by pure evil.

Seems the Brits missed evacuating a few, too. OTOH, the sniper was a member of the Afghan national army...which seems to have been less than heroic at crunch time.

When stornings and amputations just won’t do, the Biden Taliban goes all the way back to its roots. Com’on man, they helped save the planet by reducing his carbon footprint.

A "disastrous evacuation effort" caused directly by the Pentagon after having been in total control of Afghanistan for 20 years. Instead of Medals Milley and Affirmative Action General Austin the the alleged president being in prison, we scarcely even get a "Ha ha, my bad!"
