It was the United States who put the British in this position by making Kabul the center of the evacuation instead of Bagram Air Base. I love my country but we really screwed the pooch by abandoning Bagram prior to the evacuation. That should have been where we were exfiling from. Not an international airport in the middle of a freaking city.
The road from Kabul to Bagram would have been a shooting gallery.
The evacuations will continue long past leaving HKIA. But that is something no one should be speaking of. We have people in harm's way at the moment.

Not if we had maintained a large military presence until AFTER the civilians had been evacuated. You know...like common sense would have dictated? That way you don't have to do it all at once in a two week operation. You could stretch the evacuation out over time and make it easier to protect civilian convoys. You also threaten to call the whole thing off if the Taliban or ISIS-K decided to interfere with violent action. Which Trump would have done.
