According to state department cables released to NBC news, some of the Afghan staff said they would rather take a bullet from the Taliban rather than attempt another effort to run the gauntlet and reach the Kabul airport.
(Via NBC) […] The cable, which was sent Saturday, said memos were sent Wednesday inviting Afghan staff members at the embassy to head to Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. It told them to take food and to prepare for difficult conditions. “However, no one anticipated the brutal experience that occurred,” the cable said.
Staffers reported being jostled, hit, spat on and cursed at by Taliban fighters at checkpoints near the airport, it said, adding that criminals were taking advantage of the chaos while the U.S. military tried to maintain order “in an extremely physical situation.”
Some staff members reported that they were almost separated from their children, while others collapsed in a crush of people and had to be taken to hospitals with injuries, the cable said. Others said they had collapsed on the road because of heat exhaustion, it said. "It would be better to die under the Taliban’s bullet" than face the crowds again, a staff member was quoted as saying in the cable. "Happy to die here, but with dignity and pride," another said.

The Ginger Liar has DECREED that no one is "stranded".
Ginger Goebbels sporting her Baghdad bob.
getting the military out should be first
I do not say this lightly, May God Damn the Never-Trumper RINO’s to HELL!!! Every Single One of Them! They were totally complicit in Dementia Joe becoming _resident of our country. They care far more for enriching themselves by using their positions than they care about the country and the people of our country. I personally place far more blame on them than the dems. The dems are a known enemy. The RINO’s are far worse. They are the Enemy Within. Fooling the gullible and the Low Information Republican voters into believing they are with us when they have more in common with the dems than they have with any Patriot.
Bump!
You are 200% right !!!
God has a really great sense of humor. For years they claimed DJT was a liar. So now we have a real liar to compare.
Trumps lies:
Greatest of all times...
Best in the history of the world
I’m the only one who.....
Biden’s lies
We expected chaos
No Americans are stranded
I was never told
Yeah. Spit.
“May God Damn the Never-Trumper RINO’s to HELL!!! Every Single One of Them! They were totally complicit in Dementia Joe becoming _resident of our country.”

We are told by our lying military leaders and the Biden Administration claim that "We do not have the capability to rescue Americans." but we know the part of the sentence they intentionally leave unsaid which is "because we refuse to."
In one breath these mediocrities claim to be the most powerful military in the world yet they claim that they cannot recapture Bagram Airfield 30 miles north of Kabul which they abandoned in the dead of night after 20 years of occupying it? If they retook that airbase they could provide air cover to the withdrawl.
Everything they are telling us is just bald-faced lies.
If the joek doesn’t lie, Doc Jill won’t give him his Puddin Pop and his diaper change.
A blind man could see this disaster coming. Not one person resigned rather than carry out these orders. Not one person will lose their job.
Sure we did.
If you don’t live in some la-la land where the Taliban is Mary Poppins, you would know to expect this and worse.
A blind man could see this disaster coming.
