I am going to say that Kabul is worse because the administration had more than 3 days warning to prepare and didn’t. What do y’all think?

The raping and killing isn’t done yet in Kabul (nor really in either place long term).

Is this a serious question?

Kabul is the largest self-inflicted debacle in the nation's history.

I thought the question was going to be which place would you rather be/have been.

I'd go with the Superdome, but it's closer than you think.

People were told to get out of New Orleans before Katrina and knew the storm was coming, just not the flooding.

People in Kabul weren’t expecting the entire country to collapse overnight.

Kabul. Not even close.

People could watch the news and see the hurricane coming at them and stayed in place. They were told to get out.

The government told US Citizens in Kabul to shelter in place and were told everything is OK.

Kabul isn’t a disaster.

Kabul is a decision.

A very, very, very, poor string of decisions with absolutely no accountability.

I thought all the Superdome was literally urban legends.

Kabul because it's not over yet. I'm waiting to see what happens on/after the 30th.

Both situations are a mess but one of them are man made and that’s the one that could have been avoidable.

Apples and Oranges comparison.

The debacle in Kabul is damaging our reputation on the world stage, Katrina didn't have that type of impact.

Katrina also didn't have the risk of terrorists publicly executing people in the streeets.
