Mother frickers… so they got 2,000 out of Afghanistan yesterday. How many of them were American…… LESS THAN 300 and almost all male. Get your fricking shite together Pentagon! There’s over 10,000 Americans over there, and if we keep up at this rate, we’ll evacuate less than 3,900. Get your arse in that city and go find them!

So....the Taliban are "controlling entry into the airport" and our troops are controlling the flights out? The Taliban are supposed to be the ones letting people through to the airport, right? That's the agreed upon plan that our leaders have told us is working.

Then, why are people still rushing the walls/fences, and why are our troops having to use ladders to help them over the walls? That's not in the plan, that's not what we've been told the "agreement" was.

Well when you use women and children as suicide bombers it tends to make people a little nervous.

Who cares if they dont like us?

Just read a brief article that said one of the people who fell from the plane Monday was an Afghan National Team soccer player (of course, they called him a footballer). Named Zaki Anwari.

We need to bomb the palace to send a message and then get our people out. Then just let it go… if that country can’t survive on its own then too bad… I still don’t see how that country is an asset to us in any way.

Yeah, you've said that like 50 times in this thread. We're very clear on your position

To us normal Americans, it's not. To those who are profiting over it, it is (and I'm looking at the politicians who like war and don't care about the costs, at least costs in human lives). Makes me wanna puke.

If they are controlling who enters the airport then there likely won’t ever be many women able to get on the planes

We're a little past the point of carpet bombing right now. We need a scalpel, not an ax.

I disagree. The taliban will run like crazy if we do that which will help us get our people out. Then let that country take care of itself… I don’t think you understand what dropping a bomb there would mean.

That’s true which is why we need to form a hole in those walls and roads for women and children to get through.
