I got a couple of those (Air Medals) for flying flare drop in Marine KC-130Fs and resupply to Army Special Forces camps in USAF DHC-4 Caribous.

I just listened to the alleged video of the door to door executions taking place in Kabul and reading the bs from state dept that less than 250 Americans got left behind.felt

I cannot tell you how much these actions speak volumes about the character of D.C. And just how much you can trust anything they say!!

I am thoroughly disgusted with it and them.

I heard/watched that first report from a tweeted vid, not the same that Fox, New York Post, et. al., seem to be running now (forget who had it, maybe Newsmax??. The one I watched looked like a phone video being recorded a house or two away from where it was happening. Person was laying beside couch I think) trying to get a vid shot out door.

The current version up sounds like distant shots, like other side of city... away. Sounds like a firing range in the distance.

Shooting pattern sounded the same if I recall right - lot of semi shot and full auto.

Whatever it is, I am sure they are shaping the story for whatever purpose they need now...sadly...

EDIT: A few minutes later: I found the vid again, it is on twit (searched for Kabul executions tweeter vid...it does sound like a typewriter now, but it sounded like real shots yesterday, Fox one has the pattern about right to me...oh well, good thing I am not an expert witness
