"The U.S. left Afghanistan’s Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the base’s new Afghan commander, who discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left, Afghan military officials said.
Afghanistan’s army showed off the sprawling air base Monday, providing a rare first glimpse of what had been the epicenter of America’s war to unseat the Taliban and hunt down the Al Qaeda perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks on America.
The U.S. announced Friday that it had completely vacated its biggest airfield in the country in advance of a final withdrawal that the Pentagon says will be completed by the end of August."

I saw this on another outlet and, I had to double check that it wasn't Duffleblog. It just sounds like a Duffleblog article.

LTC Kevin B. - I think one of your colleagues beat you to it. But last night, a distinguished rallypointer named “2LT Evil Ass” had some nonsense comments. Oh, and a photo of poo coming out poo dropper, along with his pee maker.
It was probably the worst thing I’ve seen on RP.

I thought this might have been the case because another member sent me a private email about that fake account, but it wasn't on RP when I searched for it. That person keeps creating new accounts and posting on here. It's a nasty game of wack-a-mole.

SGT (Join to see) I saw notifications in my email about some 2LT Evil Ass responded but posts were gone by the time I got on. Were they posting obscene photos? That's the typical troll that shows up on a fake profile every so often.

SFC (Join to see) -some people might call it “Obscene’. Others might call it ‘artistic’.
Here’s how I’d describe it. Please don’t shoot the messenger. Good ol 2lt Evil Ass had a naked profile photo of man laying on his side, with a lot of sh*t coming out of his bum. The man seemed semi aroused by the amount of sh*t he was producing. Additionally, this naked, aroused, pooping man was weirdly hairy.
It wasn’t just on your particular post. He posted this photo probably 10-15 separate times in different responses on this entire thread, along with text like “242aweq” repeated for 500 lines.
Generally, one of the weirder trolls RP has seen.

SFC (Join to see) The meme states the following at the end.
"U.S. military spokesman Col. Sonny Leggett on Monday did not address the specific complaints of the many Afghan soldiers who inherited their abandoned airfield, instead referring to a statement last week.
The statement said the handover had been in process soon after President Biden’s mid-April announcement that the United States was withdrawing the last of its forces. He said in that statement that they had coordinated their departures with Afghanistan’s leaders.
Kohistani, meanwhile, said that the nearly 20 years of U.S. and NATO involvement in Afghanistan were appreciated but that now it was time for Afghans to step up.
“We have to solve our problem. We have to secure our country and once again build our country with our own hands,” he said."

I certainly saw Afghan guards there on television. However, I know some people won't believe it cause it wasn't on Fox Entertainment.
