Special ops veterans still trying to extract people from Afghanistan

The Pineapple Express helped to get about 700 Americans and Afghans inside the Kabul airport in three days, using a “shepherd concept.” Mann said former special operators used their contacts in and outside of Afghanistan to get people inside.

There is much more.
These people did what the military under Milley was incapable of doing or were not allowed to do. They were not bound by the woke nonsense of the current leadership. That made them much more effective at helping people stranded by Biden's goofy policies.
