I have a serious question.
How could ANYONE have prevented terrified Afghans from scaling the walls of the airport in Kabul and clinging to military planes amid a frantic, deadly evacuation effort while Taliban fighters that hate us sweeping back into power as the US pulls out, or casualties at the hands of suicide bombers during a high-risk scramble to screen those seeking to flee the Taliban’s brutal rule?
How?
Can someone tell me what could POSSIBLY have been done to make a quiet peaceful withdrawal?
Anyone?
Come on, all you arm chair generals – how the hell would you have done it?
How would you have pulled over 117,000 people out of Afghanistan in 2 wks? 7800/day 325/hr?
That would be 3‑C47s landing, re-fueling, loading 100+ passengers, taxing to the runway and taking off EVERY 20 minutes for 24 hr straight for 2 weeks??!!!
So just shut the fuck up.
