Trudeau’s election decision making Afghanistan situation an afterthought: Military sources

According to sources within the CAF, a Non-combatant Evacuation Operations advance team made up of 17, arrived at near the Kuwait City airport last week to meet with US and UK allies in Kabul. The group has yet to receive orders to deploy, the Sun reports.

Sources told the Sun that the Trudeau Liberals won't permit them from going in and doing "the right thing."

The group has been in the area since Friday, and are members of the 1st Canadian Division out of CFB Kingston.

According to sources in Canada's military, Trudeau's decision to call an election on Sunday is using up all of Ottawa's bandwidth, making the situation in Afghanistan an afterthought. Now, the Canadian military is awaiting the PMO and Global Affairs Canada to give them the go-ahead.

Security forces, ally interpreters, and embassy workers are all now currently bein targetted by members of the Taliban, who are apparently going door-to-door in hopes of tracking down those who aided allies.

Some airlifts designed to bring allies to safety, sources say, have left half empty due to troubles with paperwork, Visas, and documentations.

"These people were our brothers over there, but we are being left here to watch them die in front of our own eyes," said one source to the Sun.

Aircraft will be landing in Afghanistan to bring evacuees to Toronto on Monday.
