Exactly. Besides US Armed Forces, how many US civilians would actually be in Afghanistan? And why? It’s not like they didn’t know a complete collapse was coming.
They will be massacred in place. No hostage negotiations, no nothing.
yeah......... these americans and afghani’s who helped us who are left in
Afghanistan SHOULD be terrified. There is no negotiating with the taliban.
They will torture and then lop your head off.
They should have evacuated soon as Biden was inaugurated.
None of this shiite would be taking place if we had employed my emBASEeee strategee. From my home page
I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.

“Shelter in place”
The 21st Century All-Purpose Government Warning for Anything - COVID, shooters on the loose, refinery fires, rampaging 7th Century tribal head-choppers. Just “Shelter in Place” and all will be well. There is nothing to fear, citizens.
Doesn't sound like this is that kinda deal though. Not even close.

Kabul’s Saigon moment (all over town): A thousand passengers are attempting to board a plan destined for Istanbul (that can only take 300). Absolute mayhem at Kabul Airport. No security, no order...
Biden days,hold my endure..
I’ve got to take a nap.

You can collect all the data you want—but if leadership is too stupid to understand it, it is useless.
Hopefully the “sending 5000 USMC” was a lie, or they are hung up in Bahrain, anywhere but Kabul.
I read that there’s about 3000 US contractors in Afghanistan, presumably most of them now having fled to Kabul as the other places were overrun.
Worse than the Clinton Benghazi!
This DC regime will never survive after this horrifying chaos.
And 5000 Marines are supposed to do what?
The Taliban will just slaughter them.
Our military is inept now too!
WHAT military leaders are behind this insanity????
What does that even MEAN? "Authorized"?
Hopefully they are safe in their racks at Camp Lejune or Pendleton, but with these people you never know.
traffics jams trying to get to airport..many more people walking
