Really, has anyone noticed all the animals we have here that need our help?

Here you go: from many years ago here.

No, they did not. I've got 2 buddies that are dog handlers and were deployed over there and the pic is fake. BTW, those are not military animal crates, LOL

It always makes sense to get both sides of any issue before making a decision.

There's nothing political about this post.

A politician sharing false information, and blaming the current political administration; seems at least a little political to me..

Am I on Facebook here? I thought I deleted that account!?

As Digger had said, these where not military dogs. But these dogs came from the Kabul Small Animal Rescue. Same crates and labeling as on Kabul Small Animal Rescue FaceBook page. They where trying to get all there animals out of country. Charter plane never showed up.

I have been following this story for about two weeks.

"Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, an American who founded Kabul Small Animal Rescue in 2018, was recently told by the Taliban to leave Afghanistan. But she doesn't intend to go until she's secured the departure of about 125 people, including her employees and their family members, and as many as 250 animals, she said. "

"Photos circulating on social media showing 150 dogs in cages lined up at the airport are of animals belonging to a group called Kabul Small Animal Rescue, the Pentagon said. They were not military working dogs or under the care of U.S. troops. As of Tuesday the dogs pictured were still in Afghanistan."

So obvious some one does not what their talking about.

Steven - What is the source of the chart about all the equipment we are leaving behind? Did not know we where using the Russian M-17 helicopters. I know the Air Force was testing the Brazilian Embraer's A-29 Super Tucano.

Thanks for sharing! I'll be checking these links out over lunch. Glad someone knew the real story behind the photo

Sorry. It is a Word document.

If you can convert it to a PDF it might work a bit better, I am finding that less and less folks have Microsoft Word installed on their computers, so it's not as "portable" of a format for passing around information anymore.

This IS fake news!! No military man or woman would EVER leave their dog!! The military is their to guard and protect their fellow officers, which includes dogs!!! They would be the real hero's flying on the wings of airplanes, if it meant that, in order to bring their dogs home!! This was another smoke screen to open people's eyes up to what is really happening in the world!!

I don’t know where you get your false information, when the military transports their dogs they transport them in their cages! For the fact that the cages were left behind indicates that they shot and killed the military dogs that were left behind!

Sad truth is during Vietnam, I read we left behind about 5000 MWD (Military Working Dogs) and only about 200 came back to the states. The military had written them off as 'Surplus Property'. This is has been well documented.

Just Google "military dogs left in vietnam" https://www.google.com/search?q=military+dogs+left+in+vietnam

Was not until 2000 when Congress passed the 'Robby's Law' which retiring MWD most be made available for adoption. The dog's handlers have first opportunity to adopt their dog.
