What I read of the emailed info above is, it reads like veterans and those interested in the same are supposed to feel better about what fedgov has done in surrendering.
You're supposed to read it and believe that fedgov didn't betray your service, your loss and your contribution.
It's a psych op to soften the blow.
The Taliban is bloodying the noses of journalists too, with truth punches.

The Taliban spokesman got a question about freedom of speech and he said the question should be asked to US companies like Facebook who claim to promote it while still censoring[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 08-18-2021).]

Afghanistan’s new rulers represent the opposite to the neoliberalism that foists transgenderism, feminism, LGBTQ+ and CRT ideology on us. Afghans don’t want or need all that – and neither do we.
As I write, blue- and pink-haired Silicon Valley tech workers are desperately scrambling to determine what is acceptable for us to say on social media about Afghanistan.
“What can we permit them to think?” they are wondering. Perhaps they are waiting for their overlords to tell them what is going to be permissible or not.
I would guess that their eventual course of action will be to ban and disfavour algorithmically (for our own good, of course) any positive remarks towards the Taliban, as well as any criticism of the flood of Afghan refugees into Western countries. Indeed, accepting refugees will be the priority for liberal media, citing among other reasons the Taliban’s oppression of women, despite the evidence from photographs showing that thevast majority of those fleeing the country in a hurry are male.
While the US operates a hegemonic empire, it is not hegemonically of one opinion. A large section of Americans are not supportive of foreign invasions and occupations to begin with, and many now view their politicians with great mistrust and bemusement.
They rightly view the speeches and actions of these politicians as occurring within a closed bubble of increasingly insane terminology, such as the State Department’s demand that the Taliban form an “inclusive and representational government.”
Around the world, the reaction to the US withdrawal is similarly unsympathetic (as it was to the initial invasion), and both Russia and China have stepped in to offer tentative ties to the newly liberated nation of Afghanistan.
However, how can a Westerner like me feel sympathy for the Taliban? Believe it or not, there are many who view the recent dramatic turn of events with an observer's dark joy. Those who are tired of seeing their own culture and religion eroded from within, and who feel a kind of secret relief at seeing someone successfully resist globalism, feminism, LGBTQ+ and critical race theory (CRT) ideology. They can see that their society has been turned into something dark by a manufactured value-system, promulgated by political elites and the money-power behind them.

It's satisfying to see these people and their policies being exposed as failures. It's saddening that most viewers wont see the side they're supposed to be on.
CLUE: the correct side doesn't have a political party affiliation.
Biden admitting chaos was always the known outcome in the video below.
Every US puppet state in the US empire is looking for an escape plan. Some will defect to China and Russia.

Granted the above is from a British media outlet, so it'll be pro-British....but the British seem to be taking care of their own, with a plan that had to be drawn up on a moments notice sending in British paratroopers and special ops forces. Not anything like the "If your not inside the airport, your on your own to get here" message the U.S. sent out to it's citizens.
Not sure of the source, but it sure sounds believable as most of it lines up with what's being reported in the Telegraph:
Updated edit.... looks like this was further corroborated by this question asked during today's Pentagon press briefing:
https://washingtonnewspost....but-americans-arent/
At a press briefing, Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin said: “General Taylor, British paratroopers are leaving the airport, going into Kabul to rescue and evacuate some of their citizens who are trapped [and] can’t get to the airport because of the Taliban.”
“Why isn’t the U.S. doing that?” she asked.[This message has been edited by kslish (edited 08-19-2021).]

Why?
Because feeble old Joe Talibiden is still trying to find "Matlock" on his TV....
"JILL , how do you change the channel on this damn thing!!"
What a pathetic image of hopeless ineptitude.
What is especially sad is that the feckless dumbass Jimmy Carter at least gave the illusion that he was doing something during the Iran hostage crisis.

I've read some things online that claims that is an old stock photo from earlier in the year, and not even current. Apparently the clocks above the TV don't have the correct time differences to reflect current daylight saving times in the appropriate cities.
Of course, I'm surprised at this point, they aren't just all flashing "12:00am"
Perhaps Trump's staff forgot to leave them the manuals for that as well....
Also, V.P. Kamala "I haven't been to Europe" Harris (center square on the TV I believe) is reportedly scheduled to visit Europe later this year. That should be a fun-filled PR disaster after this, unless maybe that gets "rescheduled" due to the current state of events. Haven't heard much publicly from the V.P. or her office as of late.[This message has been edited by kslish (edited 08-19-2021).]

Except that THE WHITE HOUSE released that photo claiming it was Joe Talibiden hard at work on the mess he made......
Of course in Bumbling Biden classic fashion they screwed that up too:
The morons even helped out by labeling CIA alongside their images on the screen
