    Can't say how many are in the same situation, I saw a post from a guy who's wife is an Afghan. Not sure if he was, he said she and his kid went to visit family and when the crap started happening, booked them on a Turkish flight. But the flight was cancelled and so they are stuck there.

    The "crap" started happening over a year ago. So, they decided to travel there with a kid knowing US had announced a pull-out. Whose fault is that if not their own? If you take a vacation in a war-zone and even take your kid with you, then you might pay the price.

    Can you not read.Failure to have Air Power { even Helicopters }
    and available Intel.The Afghan Army who was doing most the fighting
    was hamstrung.I say on purpose.Just as our Top Brass is proving
    right now as to being clueless as to how many and who are missing.Letting the
    Taliban Decide if our Forces can go beyond some perimeter to save
    desperate americans from reaching Kabul airport.
    There's a very weird strange military incompetence taking place.
    Like I said like how Obama ran his IRS,The VA,The FBI.

    Bush 2 got us in and Biden is going down with the ship.

    You think we all should salute.

    Well, some people take vacations in Chicago but they aren't warned about it being a war zone.

    If you made a joke about their surnames starting with 'B' it would be more fun.

    No, he created his own step to cover up the current POTUS steps.

    Other nations are not relying on the honestly and help of the Taliban and are extracting and repatriating their own citizens while the US brass is just sitting there... Such irresponsible leadership!!

    Trump set the date too short and did not start working on a plan to get the people home the day he signed the deal, he wasted 8 months and kicked the can to biden

    So maybe our President might have restricted civilian travel to that area seven months ago? But I suppose blaming families is par the course for the DNC!

    Trump isn't president and hasn't been since January 20th. He had MONTHS to devise a sound strategy to ensuring the safety for our people. You can keep thinking that this flustercluck is all Trumps doing, however the rest of the world is sitting here going "WTF is wrong with Biden?". And if you are also saying that Biden is merely using Trumps plan.... That even shows how inept this president really is then, would you not agree?

    Biden could be sending in special forces RIGHT now to repatriate our citizens like every other NATO nation is doing right now. However, he is just creating a laundry list of impeachable offenses doing nothing!

    Sitting here trying to pin this on Trump just makes you look silly!

    Grow-up Bub.We still have thousands in Germany and South Korea.
    Used to be a Tour in Germany and South Korea was SOP for
    servicemen.A Country would be malfeasant if after 20 years at the cost
    of around One Trillion a country did not reap something.Like Peace of Mind.
    Knowing that stabalizing terrorist activity is a considered victory.

    Trump was very clear { a virtual impossibility for Biden } when he addressed
    this on Hannity the other night.What his exit plan was.First if as much as one
    american soldier gets killed then he'll bomb the bejessus out of the Taliban.
    We went 18 months w/o a dead american in Afghanistan.
    Secondarily his exit plan was pure McArthur.Make sure all
    american citizens and military attache are out first.The Military comes out last.
    Biden did the opposite.Biden is in baseball terminology A Bum.
    There needs to to bumper stickers and placards with the words :
    -- Throw the BUM Out !!
