Amidst the frantic Afghanistan evacuation effort, one high-ranking military officer allegedly had a sober message to send private citizens on Sunday as they worked together to get as many people as possible out.
“We are f***ing abandoning American citizens,” the unnamed U.S. military commander reportedly said via text message.
The messages were sent in a group chat made up of “private citizens working with private networks and the military to rescue stranded Americans,” according to Just the News.

This message, coming from an Army colonel assigned to the 82nd Airbourne Division who was presumably on the ground in Afghanistan, greatly contradicts President Joe Biden’s rhetoric describing the withdrawal effort as an “extraordinary success.”
