There has to be a red line somewhere. You cannot abandon American citizens behind enemy lines. That IS the operation. Everything else is already gone. The primary function of our government is to protect this country and its citizens. Idgaf if the Taliban doesn’t like it. You either make another deal or you do what the Brits are doing and you run smaller ops. But you don’t just say oh well bc the Taliban won’t let us. That’s not acceptable and anyone arguing it is is insane.
