Well, the last thing I heard today was that the dogs were indeed service dogs for security contractors in the region and had not been p/u yet given the speed with which the Taliban were overrunning the place they were forgotten for a time. Along with that, the garrison there at Fort Kabul knew they were there and the AF marshaling crew knew they were unassigned/unpicked up US trained service dogs without handlers and had given their exfil tasking to some contractor bunch that was helping with the airlift and thought they'd got them out but they never did....... Nice huh!!

The Taliban like so many other things there is not planning on killing or eating them but using them as their service dogs they've announced.....Swell

SAS troops fool Taliban by disguising as ‘devout’ women

SAS TROOPS trapped in Afghanistan pulled off a stealthy escape from the country after they reportedly fooled the Taliban by wearing a clever disguise.

The troops reportedly devised a cunning plan to escape by waving Taliban flags on their way to the capital of Kabul.
Once in the capital the troops donned burqas to hide in plain sight.
A source told the Daily Star: “The SAS team had been in Afghanistan for months and had been on a secret reconnaissance mission when everything went belly-up.

A rare visitor, a South African turbo prop Dakota at Tarin Kowt. It had a crew of two males and a female. For self-protection the crew had bought a handgun for when they had to make an emergency landing. The crew told us that they sometimes were being fired upon from above because the fully loaded aircraft in hot and high conditions had to fly through the valleys instead of high over the mountains. Great crew and I hope they made it without scratches!
