Biden-Harris administration is now openly admitting they are abandoning Americans to die. Despite time running out; in the last 24 hours they have not flown a single American citizen out of Kabul. They have even turned over control of the gates to enter and exit the airport to the Taliban. This goes well beyond incompetence and now has become evil. Just evil.
If these are Afghan Americans - that is Naturalized Citizens born in Afghanistan who got trapped there because they didn't leave soon enough - or intentionally entered a war zone against the advice of the US State Department, then I have no sympathy for them.
Jews who escaped Nazi Germany during World War II simply didn't go back even tho they knew their relatives would perish.
They were just glad to get out.
If your government offered free evacuation services for Americans or Green card holders even with expired documents for well over 6 months, the those stranded have nobody else to blame but themselves.
Actually, I think your military did a valiant job evacuating over 80,000 US citizens.
And then I saw some article in the NY Times that said the US military is 'too big'.
But I'd argue that it took a huge war machine like that to round up all those people and take them back to safety in the US.
The media seems to want it both ways. They want them to protect Americans but then they take a side swipe at them by stating they are too big.
Oerdin, I think the news media is misleading us too.
Most of those stuck there probably aren't American born citizens.
Anyways, I posted some links about a few of those who got trapped and they weren't your typical Americans.
Anyways, pro business Wall Street Journal says there are a bit over 100 Americans left in Afghanistan afer the deadline.
that's 1/10th of 1% or .1% of all the people they evacated.
I think your military did a great job of whittling that number down considerably which numbered in the thousands about a week ago.
And it's not their job to rescue idiots.
