** 27-Aug-2021 World View: Pineapple Express saves Afghan allies abandoned by Biden

• Families rescued by the 'Pineapple Express' veterans (ABC News)

This is an incredible story that is just beginning to emerge.

Beginning two days ago, a group of highly trained US military veterans
came together in Kabul, and have been secretly rescuing former Afghan
allies and their families trapped outside the airport in Kabul.

These Afghan allies have been essentially abandoned by president
Biden, and after August 31 would be left for dead, or would be
tortured or beaten or raped. Biden has ordered that no American
soldiers leave the airport to save these former Afghan allies.

So this group of special ops veterans, including retired Green Berets
and SEAL Team commanders, are like many Americans, furious that Biden
has so thoroughly botched the evacuation, and is simply willing to
abandon our former allies.

So these veterans have been locating these former Afghan allies in
Kabul, and helping them get through Taliban checkpoints, and inside
the airport perimeter so that they can be flown out before Tuesday.

They call themselves the "Pineapple Express" and use "pineapple" as a
password to recognize one another. The password has now been changed.

The veterans have already saved hundreds of Afghans. Their operation
will continue until Tuesday evening.

I don't normally post "feel good stories," but this one got to me.
