I found the video in this thread both a little funny but also tragic in light of recent events. The complete wrong types were sent in to that army and were deployed into the field way too early, before those habits were trained out of them.

Friction at airport between US & UK forces Commanders.
US forces won't leave airport due to Taliban deal.
2 Para still running patrols into Kabul to collect people from safe houses.
US unhappy with Paras saying it puts their deal at risk.
Things are so bad between US and UK forces at Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan, 2 Para have been tasked to observe US forces in case they leave at short notice.

2 Para OC had a screaming match with 82nd Airbourne CO.
Paras VERY unhappy at treatment of Afghans by US forces.
Meanwhile, 2 Para are running constant patrols into Kabul to collect British, Irish and Afghan Nationals due for evacuation.

Any other nationality also picked up if at location. Taliban are aware of patrols and taking no action.
UK forces very much running own operation. #OSINT
Priti Patel may only want 5000 Afghans this year, but UK Troops on the ground have orders to:

"Ignore numbers and get as many people out as possible."
They've been told by diplomats that the Home Office can sort out paperwork later.
US Rank & File Soldiers at Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan are incandescent at the position taken by US Central Command regarding evacuations.

They are extremely frustrated they can't join 2 Para & the small army of military contractors they've assembled to rescue people in Kabul.
UK Diplomats at Kabul Airport last night requested if Australian & German planes use empty space on their aircraft to take British evacuees, no answer was given and Luftwaffe plane left with 7 people & RAAF plane with 26.

UK had offered to pay for dropping off at UK bases.

Sounds like a serious lack of coordination between allied forces and frustration with US top brass and their handling + mission objectives.

Recent report from the airport. Sad and desperate

Honestly, Biden would have been better off not giving that interview today. When asked about how he felt about seeing people falling out of the sky from that plane, his answer was: "That was four days ago!"
The lack of compassion and defensiveness was worse than the fact it was actually two days ago.
