Page 68 - Commandos News Today

Days ago and that the special ops guys, the afghan commandos, they spread them thin in many of these capitals, these provincial capitals and they were fighting and they were dying. and they were trying to defend their homeland. so, this notion that the taliban showed up at every place and the afghans handed over their weapons is not true. thats one thing i noticed in the past couple days is people trying to connect that narrative and that intelligence, that statement on background statement. tha...

They havent given up, and if youve been hearing the reports today about people going door-to-door, the taliban hunting down the afghan commandos and wondering what happened to the special afghan forces and all the stories about everything collapsing, many of them, im told, are part of the resistance. a lot of them hid. a lot of them hid their equipment. many of them fought their way there. some died along the way, and they are dug into the valley where they plan to fight. they told me this eveni...
