Military news…
This news report will not be very reassuring, but I have to report the truth.
Massive crowds of Afghans trying to escape. Chaos and bodies on the streets of Kabul. Taliban fighters lurking everywhere. These are just some of the sights U.S. troops are witnessing as they arrive in the capital of Afghanistan to evacuate Americans and Afghans while the Taliban seize control of the country, shown in this collection of pictures taken by professional photographers in Kabul.
Taliban fighters take control of Afghan presidential palace after the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country, in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Taliban fighters patrol the streets in Herat on August 14, 2021.
Taliban fighters drive an Afghan National Army (ANA) vehicle through the streets of Laghman province on August 15, 2021.
Afghan people climb atop a plane as they wait at the Kabul airport in Kabul on August 16, 2021, after a stunningly swift end to Afghanistan’s 20-year war, as thousands of people mobbed the city’s airport trying to flee the group’s feared hardline brand of Islamist rule. Five people died trying to stay with the outside of the plane when it took of.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN-AUGUST 16: Thousands of Afghans rush to the Hamid Karzai International Airport as they try to flee the Afghan capital of Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 16, 2021. Those who aren’t airlifted yet are being killed and the women and children captured to face horrible future.

There are many more pictures coming in, but I think you see the horrible pictures and what they mean.
I have discontinued sharing excerpts from my up coming book, Signs of hope for the Military: in and out of the Trenches of Life.
You can check out the archives to find some excerpts. I also suggest you subscribe to this blog to find out the latest news, and more excerpts coming later.
The book will be going to the publisher by SEPTEMEBER.
