I guess you missed the part where the Taliban are completely encircling the place. There is no guarantee who they will let through, beat or kill. We are at THIER mercy. Not a good plan... actually one of the worst blunders in U.S. history. We were sitting in a place of power and we just gave up any leverage we had voluntarily.. now we have to beg, struggle and probably spend billions more in deployment costs to try and fix what never should have needed being fixed in the first place.

This is pathetic and humiliating. We have 5,000 troops over there and we aren't doing shit while these other countries are doing whatever it takes to bring back their citizens.

As US military sticks to airport, British and French forces are rescuing their citizens in Kabul: reports

As the Defense Department continues to stick to its plans of not reaching out into Kabul to assist U.S. personnel and Afghan helpers evacuate, British and French forces have done so to rescue their citizens, multiple outlets report.

The Daily Mail reported that London deployed an additional 300 troops to Kabul specifically to extract trapped British nationals earlier in the week. Within hours of touching down in Kabul, the British troops retrieved some 200 British nationals from around Kabul, the Telegraph reported. Prompting the mission were reports of Taliban hunting down former Afghan government officials, along with Britons stuck behind a web of Taliban checkpoints lining the route to the airport.

Additionally, France 24 reports that the French military has been conducting similar operations since Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron thanked French security forces on Twitter for executing a ‘sensitive operation’ which evacuated more than 200 French and Afghans.

News of these operations by NATO partners in Afghanistan leaves some Americans asking for Washington to follow suit. Matt Zeller, who served in Afghanistan as an Army intelligence officer, and is now a member of the Association of Wartime Allies, a group dedicated to relocating Afghans who helped the U.S., expressed his frustration on Facebook.

“Some of our NATO allies have already figured out better solutions. Some, like the French, are just going out with their Special Forces and getting their people by whatever means necessary. Mr. President, if the French can do it, so can we,” Zeller wrote.

Reports of NATO allies conducting extractions is prompting Americans to why we aren't doing the same.
