That would be 5000 more troops to be massacred by the Taliban as they attempt to evacuate the Americans still there.
They had better have weapons-free rules of engagement. Kill anybody that gets in the way. Get everybody home.

Kabul isn't going to be Saigon redux.
I fear it will be Operation Eagle Claw on steroids.

5000 troops militarily speaking is minuscule to what is needed to counter a oncoming force that has surrounded the objective. It will be a meat grinder if the USAF loses control of keeping the Taliban at bay. There seems that there is only one way out and that is by air. Secondly,the humanitarian crisis must be horrific. I have no trust in the Bidung woke pentagon to pull this off.
