I have just the solution for that. Take them about half way and let them get there the rest. Sans 'chute and lifeboat.
I have ceased caring.

90 planes in the last 24 hours like this and they want us to believe 19k left yesterday.
ETA:
This time next week is going to be very disturbing.
There is going to have to be some sort of distraction to take away from Afghanistan. Hold on to your asses.

Update on ihometiger:
Spoke to him this morning and he is on his way back to the United States now. Due to the sensitive nature of his trip he said he can't disclose much but confirmed that he got all of his friends out alive plus several others and they made a second trip back in and did another rescue mission involving additional people from various parts of Europe and some high level Afghan SIVs who were "stranded" due to the dysfunction created by the United States.
He did say thanks to everyone for the nice thoughts and messages on here and that this board has quite the reach because someone asked the group if they were from Louisiana because they heard chatter about a private rescue group from Louisiana on an internet bulletin board (i.e. Tigerdroppings) when they landed on the second mission. He said the US Gov't was looking for them to stop them from rescuing anyone but they evaded the idiots from the state dept.
He said the way the US pulled out has made the US one of the most hated countries in the world right now globally because not only are we leaving our citizens behind and the Afghans who helped us but we also royally screwed tens of thousands of other international citizens. Those governments are beyond livid.
He said if they had used their US passports that they wouldn't have been able to save anyone--they all had to use their secondary passports to travel which is what gave them access.
He said he was shocked by the level of hatred right now at the US and said we are looked at globally right now the same way Saudi Arabia was after 9/11.
Again he says thanks to everyone for their support and is looking forward to hugging his wife and kids right now as this was a mental and physical drain on everyone.

I’m drained by what’s going on… I’m 61 years old and have seen a lot of things but nothing like this total failure……

I think I speak on behalf of everyone that ihometiger is the best and bravest person who posts here. He’s a hero!

I love how State Department keep saying 'people' but won't specify number of Americans. They know they are screwed

Yea how dare we send them somewhere else. They need to come here and be a strain on us

You know the number the US gov't is providing is the number from all countries who are leaving the airport. These evacuation numbers are from Germany, India, Pakistan, UK, etc. and they are conflating them with our numbers to make them look like they are actually providing help. Its all smoke and mirrors.

This pisses me off ... what the hell Biden and company???
So glad ihome is on his way home and that they were able to help more than they went in for.

Has anyone seen an interview with a single American that has escaped Afghanistan lately?
You’d think if all these Americans are newly liberated you’d see them on TV. I’ve not seen a single one.

And how do you even get in there ... much less getting anyone ... and THEN get out safely??
What's y'alls best guess on how they do this? LOTS of money to the Taliban guys?
but totally curious.

And yet he and his group will walk among us and no one will ever know what they did for those who truly needed a needed a miracle in order to live. I'm sure he will be at his kids soccer practices and games next week though and smiling from ear to ear watching them play.

They have a very particular set of skills...

...and the willingness to use them in Plan B if the subtle and under the radar Plan A doesn't work.
Basically, they're men with multiple good plans and the ability and will to execute them as necessary, unlike the entirety of our feckless government. It's time for a reset.
