I hear them C-17s can land on a dirt road. What the US should do is coordinate a massive Dunkirk-like Exodus. EVERY helicopter, C-17, C130 and other similar troop transport aircraft in the world converging on Afghanistan and removing all of our soldiers.
Orbiting high up is a B-2 or two or three loaded to the gills with nuclear ALCMs waiting for the all clear sign.
It's the only way to be sure.
I would advise that they wait about a week...then drop all the ordnance on the abandoned bases - it would be similar to hunting deer over a corn pile.
It is a nice thought but the only practical way out is by road through Pakistan. We have thousands and thousands of vehicles in there. I don’t think an airlift would get it done. I also don’t think we should leave a damn thing there but maybe glass.
Another retreat for the United States from another war we should have never waged and another war we were never going to be allowed to win. A trillion dollars shot, lives lost and thousands maimed for life. Yet another American tragety and humiliation.
