The U.S. Embassy in Kabul has also urged Americans to evacuate Afghanistan. 

As Taliban forces advance on more provincial capitals, the U.S. is warning that its fighters are committing atrocities that could amount to war crimes.

Shocking, who could have thought this would happen? Wait till the Embassy turns into a Biden fiasco. The one thing I am sure of is Useless Milley has all the deploying Soldiers and Marines definitely up to speed on thre CRT training and Diveristy and Inclusion (DNI) and Transgender bathroom rights rules.

I am sure the Taliban are quaking in their boot at the Joe Biden/Kamela Harris military.
