I really hope this isn’t true, but with everything else happening the last two weeks, I fear it is. Poetrooper sends in an article from National File<\/a>;<\/p>\n

A viral Instagram post highlights a text message exchange in which a U.S. military servicemember states that the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit is being forced to clean a military base for the Taliban in Afghanistan. The report claims that a troop evacuation flight was cancelled by Brigadier General Farrell J. Sullivan so that Marines could sweep up trash in preparation for the Taliban takeover.<\/p>\n

The RaidTeamCo Instagram<\/a> account posted screenshots of the text message exchange on Sunday, accompanied by the caption \u201cMeanwhile on the 24 MEU! ?s This was sent to us from one of the homies his wife is currently deployed and they are being told they have to clean before they can leave! WTF SHARE!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the messages, the claim is made that \u201cWe were supposed to leave last night,\u201d \u201cThe general canceled our flight because the base was dirty.\u201d After receiving the response, \u201cWhat the f**k,\u201d the Marine continues, \u201cYea I\u2019m not joking,\u201d \u201cWe had to clean the base for the Taliban.\u201d The general being referred to is then identified as Brig. Gen. Farrell J. Sullivan of the Task Force 51\/5th Marine Expeditionary Brigade.<\/p>\n

In another text exchange, a service member states, \u201cCame from higher we had to police call the terminal where the civilians were processed. We didn\u2019t even get rooms to stay in like a lot of the other units. We slept in a gym, then had to clean the gym. We picked up water bottles and mre trash and shit paper. Reflip vehicles to the upright positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

RaidTeamCo posted a photo of the trash pickup in question that was reportedly sent in by a Marine, accompanied by the caption, \u201cUnfuhking real that our guys were told to clean this shyt up and nobody called the bullshit flag! Still notable threats and they told guys to pick up and leave the area clean for the fuhking terrorist that are responsible for this whole fuhking mess and not one person said FUHK NO because they were afraid of losing rank or a retirement?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We wouldn’t want the Taliban to think we’re slobs now, would we? Afghanistan’s a shit hole that cannot be improved with a police call or GI party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
