State Dept Overseas Security Advisory Council said Aug. 14 — “Repatriation flights are not free, and passengers will be required to sign a promissory loan agreement and may not be eligible to renew their U.S. passports until the loan is repaid. Cost may be $2,000 or more per person.”

I doubt that a note signed under duress is enforceable.
Why is this wrong? I’ve never been able to get a free flight, anywhere. I assume this is international travel, so it’s going to cost something.

Did the British charge the people they rescued at Dunkirk? That wasn’t a pleasure cruise it was a rescue; so’s this.
I wonder if Trump will make any statements on this airplane ride cost? From the nets:
Trump claimed that he freed more than 50 people from 22 countries during his administration, more than any American President ever.
The Trump administration had indeed been active in the release of Americans. In 2019, the New Yorker reported Trump said his administration had brought home thirty-eight Americans held captive abroad, ranging from the 2017 rescue of Caitlan Coleman and her family, held for five years by the Taliban in Pakistan, to the 2018 release of the American pastor Andrew Brunson, unjustly imprisoned by Turkey on charges of collaborating with a coup.
Maybe they’re saying this to set up Biden so he can come out & look like some sort of hero by announcing they don’t have to pay.
“How much did that C-17 Cargo full of Afghans have to pay.”
Exactly!
Bet they’ll waive the fee for anyone claiming to be LGBTQWERTY.
It IS the State Department, after all.
These are RESCUE flights, FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if the Latin American illegals are being charged for flights/bus travel to inland USA?
If the US Military or DOS paid them and ordered them to be there, whether .mil, civilian, or as a contractor for the US government, NATO, or the now defunct Afghan government and are US Citizens, they (US DOS) are responsible to get them out for free. Now if an idiot went over there on their free will outside of a contractor or official orders then they should be charged for it.
They can do anything they want.
What are you going to do about it...vote them out of office?👺
At this point, Americans in Afghanistan might be better off going to the Russian or Chinese embassies and making arrangements to return home through them.
Democrats are occupying the White House. It will get worse.
Like the Brit guy who was there for sh1ts and giggles trying to monetize it on his channel. The Brits rescued his @ss. 😡
Ah geesh, just STHU. You come off like a big jackass.
Sun Tsu on infiltration: The great Chinese strategist Sun Tzu theorized that the most efficient and devastating way to destroy a country or opponent was to "infect" and then rot his organization (s) from within. Sun was a prophet as well as a strategist.
Rhetorical question.
Exactly.
Our voices don’t matter.
Just watch the zitshow coming in calipornia with the newsome recall.
They are going to fraud that like no other.
I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
It’s an emergency evacuation!
