All told about 6,000 U.S. citizens were evacuated from Afghanistan. They represent the “vast majority” of those who wanted to leave the war-torn country, Marine Corps Gen. Frank McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, told reporters Monday.

Abandoning a fortified AB for a civilian airport is mind boggling.
Leaving behind 85B in military assets is also nuts.
I really feel bad for those service men. The situation is untenable and their CIC has dementia.

I’m going to venture that this is all going according to plan. We little people are not privy to the actual plan just yet.
Please share.
They couldn’t get to the airport, therefore they didn’t want to leave.
QED
Just a feeling. Such a massive Charlie Foxtrot does not seem accidental or random.
I am sick at heart for those people and those poor service dogs.
Taliban is on twitter not our former President, Donald Trump.
There is nothing Chesty Puller could do here.
His nation surrendered.
Damn it.....whats the count ? How many passports ? Is it that difficult ?
There was a bunch of kids...maybe 23...on a trip for school I think. Havene’t heard anything about them.

Here’s a hint......Afghanistan has a 47 mile border
with who ?
Some district out of Cali.
State Department should have blocked it.
Liberals in charge.
I would hazard a guess the same about to whack Taiwan.
Might have already started:
“The Tollybon will get rid of most of them so as not to embarrass the Biden regime.”
I’m not sure if they’ll do that, they do like to post things on YouTube.
"What a bunch of hypocrites."
Certain of the typical American's short memory, the woke liberal minions will
emerge from their spider holes on 9/11 to extol and celebrate their glorious
leader's bungled afghan pullout.
The “cross cultural experience” of a lifetime.
