Army Green Beret discusses 'horrors' of Afghanistan evacuation efforts
Fox News
Amid ongoing evacuation efforts in Afghanistan, Tim Kennedy – a Green Beret, Special Forces sniper, and Army Ranger – spoke with Fox News about his experience in Kabul after rescuing more than 8,900 individuals and discussed the “horrors of people getting to the airport.”
"It was a landscape and a battlefield that was something that I had never experienced before and it was absolute mayhem," Kennedy told Fox News. Kennedy also reflected on the moment a suicide bomb attack occurred outside the Abbey Gate at Kabul's airport, which killed 13 U.S. service members and injured at least 18 more, according to U.S. officials. "I was on a full C-17 loading Afghans when the bomb went off," Kennedy said. "You can’t stop. You’re in an aircraft with 500 people’s lives right there. The aircrew were incredible and we were just focused on [completing the mission]."More Related News
